Here, you will find the latest information on the evolution of Menstrual Hygiene management and period poverty in Burkina Faso and in Africa, as current events in low school retention, the stigma surrounding period, and higher school retention in lower-income countries.
All insights are made possible through the dedication of our team of volunteer writers. There are many challenges that young girls face worldwide that can impact their education. These challenges include premature marriage, a lack of female-friendly toilets, period poverty (lack of sanitary pads), lack of menstrual education workshops, food insecurity, and gender-based violence.
So, how do we go about making a change? Join us at Girl Now Woman Later Inc. as our public relations/marketing intern or volunteer. We would love to feature your insights on our blog and share them with the rest of our community. Click here to volunteer.

For the last five years, we we join our sisterhood to celebrate Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28th. We are committed to the mission to raise awareness about global issues related to menstrual health and period poverty, including access to menstrual health products, education, and availability of sanitary facilities.
Every February, Black History Month is celebrated. As we remind ourselves, there are countless Black genius trailblazers that we probably don’t know about, or that we take for granted what they did that shaped culture, or humanity, Nonetheless, it’s never too late to acknowledge these trailblazers and their impacts and contributions whether in February, or any other day!
Over the last 6 months, I have been working on my Girl Scout Gold Award project, which focused on helping people who experience period poverty as well as educating them about menstrual health.
At Girl Now Woman Later, we believe every day should be Menstrual Health Awareness Day. Our CEO and founder, Bienvenue Konsimbo, advocates for the end of period shame in its entirety.
