Résumé:
Ce numéro d’Aux Frontières de l’ATPC illustre comment les programmes de l’ATPC peuvent être élargis pour englober la gestion de l’hygiène menstruelle (GHM) dans les écoles et les communautés pour tenter de réduire les pressions exercées sur les femmes et les jeunes filles. Abstract:
Most adolescent girls and women menstruate. This means that for five to seven days each month they bleed through their vagina. This monthly bleeding is often accompanied by abdominal cramps, headaches, mood changes and general lethargy all of which can be exacerbated by social stigma, myths and a lack of requisite infrastructure to manage menstruation safely, privately and hygienically. The accumulated impact of these issues have significant implications for women and girls and the potential to limit their opportunity for education, equality, income generation and societal participation, all of which hamper self-worth and confidence.
