What is
Menstruation University?

Menstruation University is an NGO dedicated to educating and empowering people with knowledge about menstruation and menstrual health.

Through education and awareness, we aim to break the stigma surrounding periods and help create a more informed and supportive society.

We also work with partners, including companies, organisations and other NGOs, to promote menstrual dignity and ensure that girls especially schoolgirls, have the knowledge, support and access they need to manage their periods with confidence and dignity.
