AB  - Menstruation is a natural part of life, but for some people who
menstruate it can be a reason for exclusion. Factors that contribute
to exclusion include age, gender, poverty level, health conditions, and
other societal factors. Menstrual health is a general state of wellbeing
during the menstrual cycle, and it is important because everyone has
the right to live their experiences with dignity and feel healthy. In
this article, we discuss menstrual health, describe how certain groups
face situations that can negatively impact their menstrual health, and
explain why menstrual health should be a basic human right. We also
discuss the links between menstruation and the environment and the
roles that schools and everyone in society can play in contributing
to menstrual justice, that is, participating in the debate surrounding
menstrual health issues, and promoting healthy, inclusive, accessible,
and sustainable menstrual management contexts.
