Around 5000 participants from Africa and worldwide are expected to gather to track progress on menstrual health on the continent since the first Call to Action was made at the African Menstrual Health Symposium in Johannesburg in 2018. A follow-up event, the African Coalition Symposium on Menstrual Health, will be held virtually from 25 to 27 May, the African Coalition on Menstrual Health Management (ACMHM) has announced.
The 2018 MH symposium was co-hosted by the UNFPA East and Southern Africa Regional Office and the Department of Women in the Presidency of the Republic of South Africa, and led to the establishment of the Coalition. It contributed to strengthened commitment to better respond to the menstrual health needs of people who menstruate throughout their reproductive life cycle, by supporting the evidence-base and showcasing a range of innovative and sustainable models.
