Description:
The time is over for peripheral programming on menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) in WASH. It is now pivotal, particularly given the context of COVID-19 restrictions, which have exacerbated period poverty and decreased availability and access to hygienic facilities, sanitary products and information to support stigma-free safe and dignified menstruation.

Launched on Menstrual Hygiene Day 2021, this Learning Brief shares learning drawn from 14 Water for Women projects on approaches and entry points for making MHH pivotal in WASH.
