Small-scale actions deliver significant impact for menstrual health and hygiene

The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme and UN Population Fund (UNFPA) are working together to fight menstrual inequity, taboos, stigma and the lack of education on menstrual hygiene management.

Menstruation affects girls and women every month. Inadequate information on menstrual hygiene management and lack of access to related products expose girls and women, particularly those with limited resources, to discomfort and stigmatization.
