Menstrual Hygiene Day 2021: Menstruation is the most natural thing to happen to a woman s body, although it is stigmatized and associated with being a taboo
New Delhi: The year 2021 has arrived, and it is Menstrual Hygiene Day today. Every year on May 28, numerous organizations and individuals get together to commemorate Menstrual Hygiene Day, which is dedicated to advocating the importance of menstrual hygiene management (MHM). WASH United, a German non-profit, started this special health day in 2013. Since its inception in 2014, it has risen in popularity as a result of global voices and actions.
Menstrual Hygiene Day has two distinct goals. The first is to create awareness and improve social norms around talking about and discussing the menstrual cycle. The day s second goal is to put pressure on decision-makers to take action to improve menstrual health and hygiene.
