On World Menstrual Hygiene Day, awareness is raised to break the silence surrounding menstruation and champion the dignity and health of every woman and girl. Menstruation is not a burden to bear in shame; it is a natural, normal part of womanhood that deserves respect, understanding, and proper care.

As we observe this year's theme "to make menstruation a normal part of life by 2030," let us commit to creating environments where menstrual health is prioritized, where girls can attend school confidently, where women can work without worry, and where conversations about periods are met with support rather than shame.

To every woman and girl: your period does not define your limitations; it is part of your strength. Together, we can build a world where menstruation is no longer a barrier but simply a normal part of life that is managed with dignity, knowledge, and care.
