Menstruation is still plagued by myths, misunderstandings, socio-cultural limitations, and the financial burden of menstrual products. The ‘Pad A Girl’ initiative aims to empower young girls in underserved communities by providing them with accurate menstrual hygiene information and sustainable menstruation products. By doing so, we strive to reduce the need for teenage girls to engage in transactional sex to afford sanitary products during their periods. As part of the Menstrual Health Coalition Ghana, we also advocate for the elimination of tariffs on menstrual products, making them more accessible to teenage girls.
