Theme: Making Menstruation a Normal Fact of Life by 2030.

The significance of Menstruation in a Female’s life is– without a doubt– irreplaceable. It is most natural process of a Females’ Reproductive functions, thus, Menstrual Hygiene is vital & synonymous to a healthy Reproductive System.

Within the beauty of Menstruation also lies the stigmatisation, inequality and missed opportunities such as skipping school/work/important events. However, Menstruation should no longer be shrouded in shame, discomfort and insecurity– because it is a normal process of life and encompasses every individual; including Males.
