May 28 is Menstrual Hygiene Day (MHD), a day dedicated to advocating for women’s right to a hygienic, safe, private and dignified menstruation. It is marked worldwide with different initiatives taken up to call attention on the plight of over 2 billion women and girls who menstruate every month.
As such, media personality Janet Mbugua, who is also a Menstrual Health Management advocate, is petitioning the Kenyan government to put in place policies that will improve menstrual health management (MHM) among Kenyan women.
