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.
