Our Engagement in Bangladesh

In 2019, through advocacy activities, Menstrual Health and Hygiene messages have increased. Teachers, students, guardians, as well as Government officials and elected members are now aware of the importance of menstrual health and hygiene. 
 
We contributed to the development of national policies including the “Pro-Poor Strategy for Water and Sanitation”. The focus has been to ensure that policies integrate principles of equality and non-discrimination and Leave No One Behind. Through MHH-focused awareness and training activities we are supporting Bangladesh to be one of the leading countries finalizing a National MHH strategy.
