Key Information

Menstruation is a natural biological process that many girls and women experience, but it is often shrouded in taboos and misinformation, coupled with lack of access to menstrual products. By providing menstrual health education, E-WIN hopes to break down these barriers and create a more open and better understanding of MHM. Equity Watch Initiative [E-WIN] and Girls Opportunity Alliance is addressing these issues by providing comprehensive menstrual health education, as well as disposable and reusable cloth pads for girls in rural communities in Nigeria to ensure they have safe and hygienic products during their periods.
