| description |
A gender-inclusive approach to
sanitation through Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) is
needed to ensure that the benefits of sanitation and hygiene
are truly universal. The key takeaways from this brief are:
(1) the need to do contextual research before proposing an
intervention, ideally by working with a gender specialist;
and (2) the value of working through Water, Sanitation, and
Hygiene (WASH) interventions to integrate the key pillars of
MHM. This note presents some of the knowledge gained through
this event and some recent research findings on the topic.
As MHM cuts across many development sectors, it aims to be
relevant to development practitioners looking for practical
resources to integrate this approach into interventions in
the water sector, but also in health, education, social
protection, community development, and other related
development programs.In recent years, issues deriving from
the lack of adequate MHM have been coming to the fore in the
WASH sector, particularly in relation to girls reportedly
missing school because of poor MHM.The extent to which women
and girls’ activities are affected by menstruation varies,
depending on the context, but remains significant throughout
their life, particularly in low-income countries. |
