Building child friendly schools
MASERU – WHEN Mabatho Litlatse* is on her menstrual periods, the last thing she wants to do is go to school. Her schoolmates once put her through so much shame after she stained her uniform that she wished the earth would swallow her up.
“My classmates laughed at me. I felt like quitting school,” said the 12-year-old.
Menstruation, she said, disrupts her learning as she always fears leaving her uniform stained.
“The absence of toilets here makes me uncomfortable to change my pad in the forest as I don’t know who else is watching considering that our school is surrounded by homes,” she said.
