AYGF was fortunate to commemorate World Hygiene Day 2024 with an insightful new episode of our S.E.N.S.E podcast centred around the topic.
World Menstrual Hygiene Day is an annual awareness on May 28 to highlight the importance of good menstrual hygiene management and break the taboos surrounding menstruation. It was initiated by the German-based NGO WASH United. The day rallies the international community to advocate for a world free of period poverty and stigma, and to take urgent action to improve menstrual health.In commemoration of Menstrual Hygiene Day, our episode focused on the theme: Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld. Our guest, Ms. Ayomiposi Ogundipe, Founder of the Ablefort Initiative (AFI) and a passionate advocate for girls and menstrual hygiene, discussed the stigma and taboos surrounding menstruation, along with potential solutions to create a supportive environment.
