World Menstrual Hygiene Day (MHD)

Observing Menstrual Hygiene Day

This is a global initiative that brings together organisations, government agencies, the private sector, media and individuals to promote Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM).

MHD raises awareness on the challenges faced by women and girls worldwide from culturally ingrained beliefs about the impurity and stigma associated with menstruation that prevents them from fully participating in crucial daily activities such as education.
