For too long, menstruation has been a subject surrounded by whispers, shame, and stigma. Yet, for millions of schoolgirls, periods are a natural part of growing up—and should never be a barrier to education or dignity.

Through its Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) program in schools, Enabel is helping to change this narrative. School clubs and trained patrons are creating safe spaces where students can talk openly about menstrual hygiene, debunk harmful myths, and learn how to support one another.

This peer-to-peer approach ensures that both boys and girls understand the importance of menstrual health, helping to break down stigma and foster empathy. Beyond hygiene, it builds confidence, reduces school absenteeism, and creates a culture where no girl feels left behind because of her period. By equipping young people with accurate knowledge and breaking the silence, we are turning periods from a source of stigma into a symbol of strength. Watch the video to learn more.
