Calling on WMG members to respond to the Indicator consultation: Menstrual Hygiene Management

Calling on all member states and stakeholders engaged in the indicator process for the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda to add MHM (Menstrual Hygiene Management): Why Menstrual Hygiene Management and WASH in schools need to be in the SDG sanitation indicators!

We have started to “break the silence on Menstrual Hygiene”: civil society organisations, UN agencies, Ministers responsible for Water and Sanitation, have in the last years started to work towards ensuring menstrual hygiene management in learning and working environments. This happened as it was recognized that lack of MHM is a main barrier to gender equality, girl’s school attendance, women’s participation in public life, and often a reason of health problems for women and girls.
