POLICY BRIEF: Menstrual Hygiene Management Among Women and Girls in Karamoja and Teso Regions
Over the past two years, with financial support from Welthungerhilfe, the Center for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD), Straight Talk Foundation (STF) and Kiyita Family Alliance for Development (KIFAD) have been in Karamoja and Teso regions, specifically in the districts of Moroto, Napak, Amuria and Katakwi implementing a project titled Grow together, Straight talk foundation (STF) and Kiyita Family Alliance for Development (KIFAD) worked directly in communities of Karamoja and Teso regions respectively, while CEHURD focused mainly on the national level advocacy. The major aim of the project was to enable Women and Girls to articulate demands on sub-national and national levels.
While implementing the project, several issues were noted that affect the realization of the right to health for mostly girls and women, which issues require urgent attention. The issues were raised through dialogues and sensitizations held by KIFAD and STF in the communities. This policy brief provides an overview of key findings from these engagements and offers targeted recommendations to improve menstrual hygiene management among women and girls in Karamoja and Teso regions.
