The human rights activist from Nepal reports in this webinar on the urgent global demand for a dignified menstruation for all women, girls, inter and transgender people, especially in times of Covid-19.

Many girls, women and transgender people are socially excluded and tabooed during their period. These facts are very astonishing regarding the decisive role that menstruation has for the reproduction on earth. Even if product marketing and hygiene issues have stimulated a broader discourse, the consciousness for menstruation largely keeps being an undermined subject. Each girl, woman and transgender deserves dignity during menstruation because it is a human right concern. Stigmata, taboos and restrictions are practiced across the globe but the forms, magnitude and severity vary from place to place. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) encourage worldwide an integral enhancement of health, education, water, sanitation and environment. For ending gender based violence against women*, and for promoting human rights and just societies, dignified menstruation is only one tool, but a very urgent one.
