A level 300 production by Hilda Adoprey Sarko
Menstruation is a natural biological process experienced by millions of girls and women around the world. Yet, despite its normality, it remains one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized topics, especially among young people. In many schools, girls continue to face teasing, embarrassment, and discrimination simply because of their menstrual cycle.These experiences can affect their confidence, mental well-being, and even their academic performance.

However, to highlight a positive reality. When boys receive accurate information about menstrual health, their attitudes begin to change. They become more empathetic, respectful, and willing to support their female classmates instead of making them feel ashamed. This demonstrates that ignorance, not menstruation itself, is the real problem.
Schools and some organizations have a responsibility to ensure that menstrual health education includes both boys and girls. Parents should also encourage open conversations .By involving everyone, society can replace myths with facts and stigma with understanding.

Educating boys empowers them to become allies who promote dignity, respect, and gender equality. Breaking the stigma begins with knowledge, and every conversation brings us one step closer to a school environment where no girl feels embarrassed about a natural part of life.
Knowledge is the key to change. Indeed schools should include menstrual health education for both genders
