In order to assist young girls in safely and shame-free managing their periods, they also need appropriate orientation and support.
Speaking during a one-day summit and sensitization event with the theme "Educating the Nigerian Girl on Menstrual Hygiene Practices," the founder of the RippleAfrica Trust Foundation, Ikechukwu Felix Ibeto, warned Nigerians against stigmatizing women during their periods.
It is firmly believed that by promoting a knowledge of menstrual health, the subject can help sensitize young girls to the importance of menstrual hygiene.
He mentioned that if girls are appropriately educated about menstruation hygiene, the atmosphere will be healthier.
Menstrual hygiene is not just a biological procedure, but a crucial part of a girl's life that shapes her present and future, according to Ibeto. We started the Pad-up females awareness campaign a few days ago. This is a space where commitment and empathy meet knowledge and action, empowerment and education, and awareness come together.
"We firmly believe that by fostering an understanding of menstrual health, we are contributing to creating a healthier environment where every girl, irrespective of her educational background, can confidently pursue her dreams and engage in daily activities without inhibition. This noble cause, "Educating the Nigerian Girl on Menstrual Hygiene Practice," was championed to sensitize young girls on menstrual hygiene.
"We are inviting all well-meaning corporate organizations and individuals to join hands in supporting the cause of the girl child because we believe menstruation is a gift to women and must be treated as such." Your combined efforts have the power to change the world and make it better for everyone.
The founder and executive director of Pad-Up Africa, Ashley Lori, stated in her statements that menstruation is a problem that ought to be discussed in all industries.
She advised against stigmatizing teenage girls while they are menstruating, pointing out that boys and men should be educated about the normalcy of menstruation.
We have a responsibility to inform and educate those in our immediate vicinity about morality. The number of females attending public schools will rise if all of them have gender-neutral restrooms.
