Menstrual Justice, Sexual Health Education, and Girls Leading the Way

by educatengogmailcom, posted in Our work in Honduras

In the rural communities of Santa Bárbara, Honduras, girls face significant barriers to education and access to information about their bodies, rights and health. By reaching girls early with tailored workshops about menstrual health, sexuality, and other topics, we can ensure that girls understand the changes in their bodies and approach them with confidence rather than shame. This is a first step towards preventing adolescent pregnancy, reducing gender based violence, and ensuring girls are able to make informed decisions about issues that affect their lives.
