FE REPORT | Thursday, 29 May 2025
The World Menstrual Hygiene Day was observed in the country as elsewhere across the globe on Wednesday with the theme 'together for a period friendly world'.
Various organisations including Bangladesh Women Health Coalition (BHWC) held rallies, competitions and discussions to create mass awareness about safe menstruation, hygiene and reproductive health.
WaterAid Bangladesh, Kimberly Clark and MHM Platform, which hosted a competition to find safe and available sanitary solutions for the women with disabilities, declared names of three winners at a ceremony at Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation marking the day.
The winner teams were selected after screening 31 ideas and successful prototype testing by four women with different disabilities since the competition was launched on May 07.
