What is Menstrual Hygiene Day?

Menstrual Hygiene Day (May 28) was initiated by the German non-profit WASH United in 2013. WASH United is the overall global co-ordinator of MH Day and acts as its international secretariat. By 2030, it is possible to create a world where no one is held back because they menstruate. This means a world menstruation can be managed safely, hygienically, with confidence, and without shame:

• Everyone can access and afford the menstrual product of their choice

• Period stigma is a thing of the past

• Everyone has basic information about menstruation

• Everyone can access period-friendly water, sanitation and hygiene facilities everywhere
