Menstrual Health Day | The Period Purse

Initiated by German non-profit WASH United in 2014, Menstrual Hygiene Day* (MH Day) is a global day of action with more than 830 partner organizations working together to catalyze awareness and action towards a world without period poverty and stigma. The date of 28 May represents the menstrual cycle (average duration of 28 days, with on average 5 days of bleeding).

*here at The Period Purse, we use the term “health” instead of hygiene to encompass our education around periods, the fight for period equity, and advocacy of policy change, but in alliance we are united in calling it MH Day.
