Abstract:
Inadequate water and sanitation facilities pose a major impediment to school-going girls during menstruation, compromising their ability to maintain proper hygiene and privacy. More than half the schools in low-income countries lack sufficient latrines for girls and female teachers. Where latrines do exist, they are frequently unclean, too few in number, and unsafe. Toilets are often without doors, and girls are subject to harassment by boys. Water, even when available, is often located at a distance from the latrine stall, making it impossible for girls to privately wash blood off their hands and skirts before rejoining their classmates. Facilities also lack adequate means for disposal of used sanitary materials.3,4 Girls report dreading the idea of leaving signs of menstrual blood inside the latrine.
