In honour of International Day of the Girl, this week Love Your Menses hosted a free Menstrual Awareness and Wellness Training in Nairobi in 2022. Over 70 community educators from across Kenya joined us for this amazing experience as we discussed menstrual management, period poverty, and how we can all be menstrual equity advocates in our communities. From the USA to Kenya, we were able to build a sisterhood. 💜
Thank you to our guest speakers, Dr Phylisters Daizy Matula and Winny Obure.
Special thanks to the LYM team: Dr Ebere Azumah, Bria Gadsden, Fabienne Eliacin, Fatoumata Konate, James Gitari, and Briston Barasa.
Oferecemos oficinas de educação sobre bem-estar menstrual virtuais e presenciais em escolas e centros comunitários. Nosso objetivo é fornecer um espaço seguro e acolhedor para que as meninas aprendam sobre o ciclo menstrual e explorem sua jornada na adolescência enquanto compartilham suas experiências com os colegas. Nosso objetivo é criar um espaço seguro e edificante para dissipar mitos em torno da menstruação, ao mesmo tempo em que capacita as pessoas a amarem sua menstruação, por meio de:
Discussões em grupo inclusivas e abertas que dão a cada membro a oportunidade de compartilhar quaisquer preocupações e fazer perguntas com as quais outros possam se relacionar
Workshops educativos com profissionais de saúde que fornecem informações precisas e com base científica sobre puberdade e saúde menstrual
Atividades envolventes que proporcionam um tempo para auto-reflexão e avaliação
"This was an amazing workshop and I just want to share it with so many others. This [workshop] was very informative for an adult like me but it also catered to younger people, better than the reproductive health education I ever got!"

Live Instruction
All of our learning sessions allow participants to not only learn from the instructors but learn from each other. During learning sessions, participants will be able to engage in meaningful conversations that will lead to better understanding, increased knowledge, and strengthened community relationships.
Tailored Content
We understand everyone's experience related to menstruation is different. Whether you are a nurse, doctor, or caregiver seeking more information on the physiology of the menstrual cycle to better support patients, or you are a father uncomfortable with talking about periods but interested in learning more and overcoming that discomfort, we have a specific course for you!
Resourceful Community
Once you enroll in one of our trainings, you will have unlimited access to resources (live and prerecorded Q&A's with medical and public health experts, downloadable infographics, menstrual product samples, etc.) to help you continue learning about menstruation as well as supporting youth and adults who menstruate.
