Many women and girls worldwide do not have the knowledge, skills, services, and products or support to ensure their well-being during menstruation. Due to the link of menstruation with health, education, water and sanitation, and socio-economic factors, these challenges are even more urgent for those who menstruate in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs). At the same time, there is evidence that ensuring good menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) will contribute to the health and well-being of women and girls and promote gender equality.
While in many countries comprehensive MHH strategies are emerging and a growing global movement for MHH is unfolding, MHH is not a priority for many donors, governments or implementors. The funding levels are marginal and nowhere near what is required to address the challenges and needs.
