Policies must translate into tangible change in the lives of girls and women.
@UNFPAUganda has called for renewed commitment and collective action to address the persistent barriers to menstrual health and hygiene in Uganda.
Speaking at the launch of the #MHHParliamentaryForumUganda, @lafuente_lau highlights the importance of strengthening local manufacturing, improving access to affordable menstrual products and ensuring that existing policies deliver meaningful results.
#MenstrualJusticeForAll
.@UNFPAUganda has reaffirmed it’s commitment to working with @Parliament_Ug, @GovUganda institutions, @UNBSug and civil society partners over the next five years to advance menstrual health and hygiene for girls and women in Uganda.
During the #MHHParliamentaryForumUganda, UNFPA highlighted Uganda’s active contribution to the development of global menstrual health product standards through the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS).
The engagement also called for stronger action to translate existing policies into practice, address barriers affecting local manufacturers and improve access to affordable menstrual products.

Healthy Periods. Confident girls. Periods with dignity.💜
Periods are natural. Shame is not.
Every girl deserves proper period care & the chance to stay in school & thrive.

Making an informed choice starts with understanding your options. Know how a family planning method works, its possible side effects, how to use it correctly and when to seek follow-up care. Ask questions, seek clarification and make a decision that works for your body and your needs.

Menstrual health and hygiene goes beyond access to sanitary pads. It includes water, sanitation, soap, psychosocial support, mental wellbeing, a supportive environment and access to appropriate menstrual products.
The #MHHParliamentaryForumUganda is committed to advancing a holistic approach that addresses the needs of women and girls at family, community and national levels.

Menstrual health interventions are contributing to improved school participation, attendance and wellbeing among girls.
Through the Period Positive Schools model, @IriseEastAfrica provides reusable menstrual products, menstrual health education and community engagement while working with education authorities to strengthen WASH facilities and promote inclusion for girls with disabilities.
The organisation also tracks girls’ academic journeys, supporting their transition from primary to secondary school and encouraging families and communities to play an active role in keeping girls in education.

Menstrual health and hygiene is not just a health issue. It touches education, sanitation, financing, environmental protection and social equity.
The newly launched Parliamentary Forum provides a dedicated platform for legislators to strengthen accountability, influence policy and address implementation gaps.
The focus now is on bridging policy and practice to ensure every girl can manage her period with dignity.

Menstrual justice cannot be achieved in isolation. We need communities, civil society organisations and legislators working together to address the challenges women and girls face.
Through community education, menstrual product access, advocacy training and evidence generation, @IriseEastAfrica is working to ensure that menstrual health and hygiene remains part of the national and regional policy agenda.
The organisation’s Period Equality Network brings together over 270 partners, while the Menstrual Justice Academy equips advocates with the skills to champion change within their communities.

The Hidden Cost of Menstruation.
For many families, the cost of menstrual products remains a significant financial burden. One packet of sanitary pads may not be sufficient for an entire menstrual cycle, particularly when products need to be changed regularly.
When menstrual products are unaffordable, girls and women face difficult choices that affect their dignity, health and participation in everyday life.
Menstrual health financing and affordability must therefore remain part of the policy conversation.
#MenstrualJusticeForAll #MHHParliamentaryForumUganda
School Sanitation Must Consider Girls’ Needs.
A school’s sanitation facilities must reflect the needs of its learners.
Girls require access to toilets not only for sanitation but also for changing menstrual products and managing their periods with dignity and privacy.
Equal access does not always mean identical facilities. It means ensuring that every learner has what they need to participate fully in school.
