Usually, many students are not able to access this information because the subject is considered a taboo around them. Even the parents do not inform the children about best practices around #YouthMenstrualHealht. That’s why most of schools’ students never attend MHM sessions nor are such sessions organized by schools.

Moreover, many students shared their experiences of going through periods. And how they never get informed about periods. Even their closest family members didn’t talk about it nor provide any guidance on how to manage menstruation. SFY through the #40In4Campaign is successful creating spaces where not only education but community building can be facilitated. Students come forward to talk about their menstrual health experience and receive guidance on best practices. The #40In4Campaign is an important initiative that is honing leadership qualities in young women leaders who continue to create daily impact talking about #YouthMenstrualHealth.
