Menstrual Health Study Rozinah Chuchu Yvonne Kaseke Maria Tapfuma
BACKGROUND Menstruation is a fundamental experience for girls and women, and appropriate menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is directly linked with basic human rights and key to sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Yet, MHM is often left out of SRH interventions and continues to be a challenge for many girls and women, especially in countries like Zimbabwe. With this in mind, CHIEDZA intervention services will include MHM education and the provision of MHM products (e.g. the menstrual cup, reusable pads, period pants, and pain medication). The YRA project will be used to inform and develop a period tracking diary and the profile of an MHM champion that will support and influence the uptake and retention of MHM services within CHIEDZA.
