Making the Case for Investing in Menstrual Health & Hygiene (in English, French and Spanish) PSI, Simavi, THE CASE FOR HER, WASH United (2021)
Many women and girls worldwide do not have the knowledge, skills, services, and products or support to ensure their well-being during menstruation. Due to the link of menstruation with health, education, water and sanitation, and socio-economic factors, these challenges are even more urgent for those who menstruate in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). At the same time, there is evidence that ensuring good menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) will contribute to the health and well-being of women and girls and promote gender equality.
While in many countries comprehensive MHH strategies are emerging and a growing global movement for MHH is unfolding, MHH is not a priority for many donors, governments or implementors. The funding levels are marginal and nowhere near what is required to address the challenges and needs.
