About 52% of the female population is of reproductive age and most of them are menstruating every month. The majority of them have no access to clean and safe sanitary products, or to a clean and private space in which to change menstrual cloths or pads and to wash. Poor protection and inadequate washing facilities may increase susceptibility to infection, with the odour of menstrual blood putting girls at risk of being stigmatized. Therefore it’s important to have access to clean water and always wash your hands first before touching your genitalia. #globalhandwashingday @wateraid_ghana #wash #menstrualhygienemanagement #faytexcaresforyou #unicef (bij Accra, Ghana)
