No Namibian GIRL-CHILD especially the previously disadvantaged and marginalized should miss or drop out of school due to a lack of access to sanitary towels and; awareness on Hygiene and Menstrual Health Management. Against this, I urgently call on our Government, Policy/Law makers, Non-Governmental Organizations, Civil Society, Political, Traditional & Religious Leaders, Community Based Organizations, Faith Based Organizations and the General Public to join efforts and consider the following:
- Describe Hygiene and Menstrual Health Management (HMHM) under the Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR);
- Approach Hygiene and Menstrual Health Management (HMHM) from a Human Rights perspective;
- Remove tax on all sanitary products;
- Sexual Intercourse is a CHOICE and Menstruation is NATURAL, hence sanitary products must be evenly distributed, available and accessible.
- Empower our BOY-CHILD, adolescent and adult males through education and other capacity-building opportrunities on Hygiene and Menstrual Health Management (HMHM) and; Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR).

Let's support equal and constant access to sanitary pads and encourage healthy life for our women and girls.
If we give free condoms to men, we should be ashamed for not giving a girl child sanitary towels
No girl child must drop out of school due to lack of sanitary towels provisions.
Is it possible for the kids at my school to benefit from this ? Five Rand project school
This is a very sad situation... missing schools for 5 + days a month is just unacceptable.
Indeed thats wonderful.
Make a difference for every girl
