Menstruation_Hygiene_2015_SRC_Nepal

In Nepal, the menstruation hygiene behavior of school girls and female teachers is promoted. The menstrual hygiene management system (MHM) at schools consists of three main activities:

  • Facilitate school WASH training with a special focus on menstrual hygiene for girl students. This also includes how to make reusable sanitary pads for household purpose (to teach to the women in the community wherever feasible).
  • Implement a management system of sanitary pads in school: ensuring sufficient quantity, their proper storing and availing the pads to the needy girls timely and easily.
  • Install arrangement for collection/proper keeping of used sanitary pads in a tray inside the incinerator, attached to the ladies toilets and burning them properly at certain interval of time.
