Young female influencers energising campaigns against menstrual taboos around the globe GIZ (2022)
German-supported projects in Nepal, Albania and the Philippines are involving local social media influencers and celebrities to break down taboos around menstrual health and hygiene. To great effect! GIZ’s short film ‘Tackling Taboos’ has been nominated for the WHO film festival ‘Health for all’. Shortlisted out of more than 1000 entries, the film is in the final 70 — and the only one which addresses the sensitive topic of menstruation.
Clicktivism is proving an effective tool for challenging harmful practices and for empowering young women in Nepal.
