Question 19

What is Menstrual Health / Hygiene Day?

Answer

Initiated by German non-profit WASH United in 2014, Menstrual Hygiene Day* (MH Day) is a global advocacy platform that brings together more than 910 partner organizations working to break the silence and raise awareness around menstrual health and catalyze action towards a world without period poverty and stigma.

The date of 28 May represents the average duration of a menstrual cycle (28 days) with on average 5 days of bleeding.

*here at The Period Purse, we use the term “Health” instead of hygiene to encompass the important work that’s being done in period education, the fight for period equity, and advocacy for lasting policy change. In alliance with other partnering organizations, we are united in calling this important day MH Day.

Question 21

Why is Menstrual Equity important?

Answer

1 in 4 Canadian menstruators (25%) have been forced to make the decision between purchasing menstrual products and purchasing other essentials such as food or rent within the last year (Plan Canada, 2023). Menstrual products are necessity products, just like toilet paper. Everyone deserves to menstruate with dignity.
