Recommendation 10
10
Inadequate menstrual health information and WASH services hinder women and girls in low-income countries.
Conclusion
To meet menstrual health needs, women and girls must be able to access accurate, timely and age-appropriate information about menstruation. In addition, they need access to WASH services and inclusive infrastructure. Without adequate services and facilities, managing menstruation can be a challenge for women and girls in low-and-middle-income countries, preventing them from accessing education and employment opportunities. This could undermine the UK Government’s work in other sectors, particularly in education. (Paragraph 42) 42 The FCDO’s approach to sexual and reproductive health
