Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024

Fola | 09/1/2024

Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024 reminded us of the importance of breaking the silence around periods and ensuring that every girl and woman can manage her menstrual health with dignity.
AfayHealth, we joined this global movement with a series of activities designed to spark conversations, build awareness, and drive change.

Together with schools and communities, our team hosted interactive workshops where girls could learn accurate information about menstrual health and ask the questions they’ve always wanted answered. We also distributed free sanitary products to those in need, while parents, teachers, and community leaders joined us in creating safe and supportive spaces for open dialogue.

Beyond classrooms and community halls, we took the conversation online. Through social media campaigns and outreach events, we encouraged people to challenge myths, speak openly about menstruation, and support the rights of girls to thrive—whether in school, at home, or in their daily lives.

For us at AfayHealth, Menstrual Hygiene Day is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a reminder of the work that must continue every day. By standing together, we can create a future where no girl is held back by her period.
