Menstrual Hygiene Day: Menstruation Matters
Event Information
Description
Join The Red Elephant in celebrating Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28! We invite you to attend a screening of Menstrual Man followed by a panel discussion with local experts who will talk about menstrual hygiene management and what we can do to ensure every woman and girl can manage her menstruation in a hygienic way – wherever she is – in privacy, safety and with dignity.
Menstrual Man tells the remarkable story about a school dropout turned visionary who revolutionized menstrual hygiene management in India. A critical and audience favourite, the film underscores the importance of empowering women to combat poverty, and the power in every individual to make a difference.
Menstrual Hygiene Day is an annual event, first celebrated in 2014, which raises awareness of the challenges women and girls worldwide face due to their menstruation, and highlights solutions that address these challenges.
