Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is marked on 28 May each year. It is a global advocacy platform that brings together voices and actions from around the world, promoting good Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) for all women and girls.
MH Day:
- Breaks the silence, raises awareness, and changes negative social norms around MHM, and
- Engages decision-makers to increase the political priority and catalyse action for MHM, at global, national, and local levels.
Red Pride Week is the 5 days leading up to MH Day on 28 May. It begins on Monday 24 May and culminates on Saturday 28 May - it is a time to learn, share and advocate!
