Afghanistan: Menstrual Hygiene Management in Afghanistan
Three strategies are prioritized by Ministry of Education to advance MHM: capacity building, advocacy, and supporting WASH services in schools. Several achievements have been made such as the publication of MHM guidance for teacher and MHM comic book for students. However, there are challenges remains, for instance most schools do not have access to water, poor understanding on the specific need for girls, and lack of privacy and uncomfortable toilet for girls to manage menstruation hygienically at schools.
