MENSTRUATION HYGIENE DAY.

Today, the 28th of May is Menstruation Hygiene Day. 

Menstruation is a vital and integral part of womanhood. It also happens to be an occurrence that can lead to pain if not we'll managed.

The pain women experience during menstruation ranges from physical to psychological to emotional pain. 

Physically. Menstruation pains can destabilise a woman for a while. Some ladies experience mild pains, some moderate, some severe. Thankfully analgesics (pain medicine) can take care of the pain.

Emotionally women sometimes  experience distress while seeing their menses. This could come in the form of mood  swings.

Psychological pain and distress during menstruation can come from societal and cultural discrimination against women who are menstruating. Teenage school girls, especially those in co-educarional schools are made jest of by boys, during menstruation.  

My recommendations are that well spirited groups and individuals, should please provide toilet facilities in public schools where girls can go clean up and take care of themselves during menstruation. 

Secondly, Society for Family Health or any other Foundation or agency should please subsidise sanitary towel so that they can be very affordable for a lot more women. This will reduce the number of people using tissue papers and other not so healthy items for menstrual flow. 

Ladies, menstruation is a blessing, it shouldn't make you feel shy, it shouldn't tie you down at home. 

Love the Flow,

Get up and Go!

Treat Everyone Responsibly.
