Global Health & Gender Policy Brief: Menstrual Health and Management
Of the , , leading to health, economic, and safety concerns. Menstruation remains a taboo topic that is often overlooked within health sectors. But recent attention from global health, international development, women鈥檚 empowerment, and humanitarian organizations has increased awareness for the impact of menstruation on women鈥檚 participation in societies and economies.
