Menstrual Hygiene is the right of every girl โโโ๐ฅ๐ฅ@UNFPA, @NetworkAthena
Gender inequality continues to restrict womenโs control in deciding how, when and with whom they have sex, increasing their risk of HIV infection.
This is unacceptable.
On behalf of my peers, young women & girls that bear the brunt of victimization for #GBV, we wish to sincerely implore all concerned to continue fighting for us. We need & deserve a safe country in which we can live in peace," Princess Senate, receiving dignity kits from UNFPA
Her Royal Highness Princess Senate Seeiso received dignity kits on behalf of 2500 women & girls in Lesotho, procured through UNFPA support. They were handed over by @UNFPA Representative @MarcDerveeuw who emphasized the need for menstrual health to be in the development agenda.
Lessons from HIV for an effective, community-led response to #COVID19.
1. Communities are central
2. No stigma and discrimination
3. Support the most vulnerable
4. Remove barriers to action
5. No criminal sanctions
6. International cooperation
7. Be kind
Wowww....This is such a good move and encouragement that every other pandemic is as critical and life-threatening as any.
Let us not overlook HIV now during COVID-19, the two relate and need to be integrated.

#whatgirlswant#MHDay2020#LENASO
Covid19 has ushered in increased #MHM challenges including lack of access to basic amenities like water, restricted movements to go buy sanitary wear,loss of income meaning AGYW cannot afford sanitary wear @MyAgeZim @AfriCoMHM @roots_africa@ShamwariyeMwana#WhatGirlsWant#MHMDay
What a powerful message from @JulittaOnabanjo from @UNFPA. #ItsTimeForAction to create a world where all women and girls can enjoy their sexual and reproductive health and rights by 2030! Together we can do it!#MHDay2020
What if you had to use moss, animal skin or newspapers for your periods?
Sanitary pads remain out of reach for millions living in poverty & are still taxed as a โluxuryโ item in several countries. The #COVID19 pandemic is exacerbating #PeriodPoverty. #MHDay2020
In times of crisis such as an outbreak, women and girls may be at higher risk of intimate partner violence and other forms of domestic violence. @UNFPA supports efforts to prevent and respond to incidences of gender based violence during the lockdown
