Rahama Girl Child and Women Empowerment Initiative

This #MHDay2025, we joined hands with students in Kano to break the silence and build knowledge around menstrual hygiene and reproductive health. 💪🏾 In an inspiring school outreach, we: ✅ Held engaging sessions on Sexual & Reproductive Health, STIs & HIV, and Gender-Based Violence ✅ Debunked myths and empowered students with facts on communicable diseases like TB ✅ Had an incredible hands-on session where students learned to make their own reusable sanitary pads — a sustainable solution to period poverty 🌍 Because no girl should miss school or feel ashamed for having her period. Because knowledge is dignity. Because every child deserves to grow in safety, health, and confidence. 🛑 It's time to end period shame, fight stigma, and ensure access to safe menstrual solutions for all! 📍#MenstrualHygieneDay #MHDay2025 #LeaveNoOneBehind #KanoOutreach #SRHR #EndPeriodPoverty #YouthEmpowerment #GBVPrevention #STIAwareness #TBPrevention #ReusablePads

#WeAreCommitted #MHDay2025 #MenstruationMatters Periods are natural. Access to menstrual products, education, and safe sanitation should be too. This Menstrual Hygiene Day, we reaffirm our commitment to breaking taboos, ensuring dignity, and creating a world where no girl is held back by her period. 💬 Talk about it. 📚 Educate yourself and others. 🩸 Advocate for menstrual equity. Together, we can end period stigma—one conversation at a time. #ItsTimeForAction #PeriodPride #LeaveNoOneBehind
