MENSTRUAL CHALLENGES



Yesterday  I visited a certain community and the problems I identified broke my heart into pieces   . Women using lessos during their periods and later burry underground.Teenage pregancies is at its peak. When girls miss schools and other important social events when on their periods they miss out in important segments of their lives denying them equal opportunity with their peers hence leaving them steps behind which with time build up to miles which they will be unable to recover.The social shame that is associated with periods need not be faced by anyone especially in an age that mobilization of resources can be scaled and implemented using social media, community networks and mainstream media,  and a good team of sisters like us I would wish  to help them but I am not in a position to.  I would really wish to see that no girl is left behind
