Is education awareness about menstruation & products in schools comprehensive enough?

Education plays a crucial role in menstrual health, yet many young girls and women lack comprehensive knowledge because existing approaches often fall short due to cultural taboos that restrict open conversations.

This is according to a report by Nguvu Collective, which was launched on April 6, 2025.

In many cases, boys and men are excluded from menstrual education programs, reinforcing stigma rather than fostering inclusivity.

Furthermore, menstrual education tailored to the needs of disabled individuals is rarely prioritized, limiting their ability to manage menstruation independently.
