and what support is still needed from parents, community leaders, district officials, and partners. Teachers — does your school have a safe place where girls can manage their periods with dignity? Every girl deserves to learn, grow, and succeed in school — even during her period.

Too many girls are taught to silently endure period pain, exhaustion, and discomfort. But girls deserve knowledge, support, proper nutrition, and safe ways to manage their periods with dignity. #PeriodFriendlyWorld #AGirlsTime #FlowReady

"Anything but normal.” A powerful reminder spotted by one of our board members at Basel Airport — and timely as we prepare for Episode 8 of A Girl’s Time (#EkiseeraKyOmughala). Too many girls are told to simply “endure” period pain in silence. But severe pain, exhaustion, dizziness, and missing school should never be normalized. #MHDay2026 #MHH

“I didn’t know where the blood was coming from… I thought I was bleeding from the back.” That’s how Prossy experienced her first period. No preparation. No explanation. Just confusion and fear. She had a mother to run to when she stopped trying to figure it out on her own. "Now imagine a girl with no parent or guardian, no one to guide her. It can be even worse." Lea Bwanika Owino | @FlowReadyNow 🎙️ On Ekiseera Ky’Omughala (A Girl’s Time), we’re having the conversations too many girls never get to have. Mark you calendar and tune in this Thursday on 92.5 Your Voice FM Call in. Ask questions. Be part of the change. Because no girl should be caught unprepared. 👇 mytuner-radio.com/radio/your… #EkiseeraKyOmughala #FlowReady #MenstrualHealth #PeriodEducation #BreakTheSilence #EndPeriodStigma #AGirlsTime

Every year, millions of girls encounter their first period without knowing what to expect. For too many, this moment comes with fear, stigma, and silence — or worse, it becomes a signal for early marriage or childbearing. These issues can be exacerbated by pervasive cultural taboos and restrictions around menstruation. flowready.org/about/

Happy #WomensDay — especially to the 2 billion of us who menstruate each month, and the more than 300 million women and girls on their period today. And if you can, start the conversation early. Our founder’s kiddo has been curious about periods since she was still in pampers, often following her into the bathroom with questions. #MenstruationMatters

Don’t hide it. Share it. That’s how the next generation grows up without shame and all associated myths. Preparation starts with conversation - long before the #firstperiod. That’s the world we’re building at FlowReady. #BeforeMenarche #FlowReady
