The conversation highlighted the critical role men and boys play in challenging harmful norms, promoting respect and consent, and creating safer communities for women and girls. Ending sexual violence requires all of us to speak up, take action, and champion dignity and equality.

Yesterday, my team and I at @TranscendAfric had the honor to host partner members of the @WezeshaGirls for the Post International Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management Day celebration at Kira Senior Secondary School. The day started off with the #YouthWithPurpose Mentorship activation, an interaction with S4-S6 students on Digital Literacy, Self Branding , Career Guidance, and general SRHR information. Later alone we dived into Powerful speeches from key Partners that reminded us how menstruation is normal, biology is not a barrier. We also had two Panel discussions, one with young leaders, advocates,the second one with students and staff tackling period shame head on from mental health effects to how boys and male teachers can be allies. Am grateful to @RaisingTeensUg2 and @amity_uganda for the Pad donation to students which were officially handed over to keep girls in school and in dignity. Hosting this with @WezeshaGirls partners, teachers, and students showed me what’s possible when we speak openly and act together. Grateful for every hand that made this happen. This is what #PeriodFriendlyWorld look like.

In honor of #MHMDay2026, we joined @TranscendAfric our partner under the @WezeshaGirls, for the post-International Menstrual Hygiene Day celebrations at Kira Secondary School. The day was filled with meaningful engagement as we facilitated sessions on menstrual health and hygiene with young people. Having both boys and girls in the same space made the conversations even more powerful. It was encouraging to see how openly they participated, asked questions and sought clarity on issues that are often surrounded by silence and stigma. Their curiosity reminded us that young people are ready for accurate information when given the opportunity. They are not just learners but also key voices in shaping healthier, more informed communities. As part of our contribution towards menstrual dignity, we also donated sanitary pads to support the girls in managing their periods safely and confidently. This small but important gesture reflects our continued commitment to ensuring that no girl misses out on opportunities because of her period. We are grateful to all the partners who joined us and contributed to the success of the day. Together, we remain committed to breaking stigma, promoting dignity and creating a #PeriodFriendlyWorld for all.

Our team leader @nankunda20 was hosted by @GivingTuesdayUg for Episode 4 of #PeriodGiving and in this episode, she shares the heart behind our annual hiking events dedicated to restoring dignity and hope to girls in rural areas of Uganda. Every year, we hike not just for the adventure but for a purpose bigger than ourselves, to stand with girls who still struggle with menstrual stigma, lack of sanitary pads and missing school because of their periods. Through these hikes, we raise awareness, mobilize support and remind communities that menstruation should never stop a girl from dreaming. This conversation highlights the power of collective action and how small efforts can create lasting change in the lives of girls and young women. It is a call for everyone to join the movement towards a world where every girl menstruates with dignity, confidence, and respect. Watch out for the episode and be part of the conversation because together, we can create a #PeriodFriendlyWorld
