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.

Menstruation is increasingly recognized as an issue in domestic and global public health. Menstrual cycles have not stopped during the coronavirus pandemic. In fact, period poverty — the inability to afford menstrual products — has increased as job insecurity, homelessness, and food insecurity continue to rise. There is a growing menstrual equity movement in the country to not only end period poverty but also to address menstruation education and stigma, and to ensure that people have access to healthcare resources, empowering a generation of unapologetic girls and women.

 

Love Your Menses is proud to offer various online trainings to help you learn more about menstruation and advance menstrual equity in your community. To enrol in one of our training, please scroll down and select an option.

"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!"
