Can you believe this is the 10 year anniversary of Menstrual Hygiene Day?
CouldYou/ and the CouldYou? Cup collaborate globally with our partners year round to dispel myths, provided menstrual health education and distribute the CouldYou? Cup to vulnerable menstruators.
Millions of women and girls* around the world are prevented from reaching their full potential. Just because they menstruate. On 28 May, we unite to change that. Menstrual Hygiene Day brings together non-profits, governments, the private sector, and millions of individuals. Together, we increase awareness and action towards our common goal: a #PeriodFriendlyWorld. A world where the taboos and stigma surrounding menstruation are history. Where everyone has access to quality menstrual products, period education and period-friendly toilets. But Menstrual Hygiene Day is more than an awareness day. In the past 10 years, the movement has grown tremendously. Today, more and more of us are also working towards a #PeriodFriendlyWorld beyond 28 May.
We have planned events online and on the ground, around the USA and Africa, with our partners and ambassadors:
- Ghana
- Kenya
- Lesotho
- Liberia
- Malawi
- Nigeria
- Mozambique
- Sudan
- Uganda
- USA
