The Foundation, which works to promote the vulnerable in society, said the "Feminine Cycle Project," targeted girls and young women, and aimed at empowering them with the knowledge and resources to manage their menstrual health in dignity.

A statement issued and signed by Miss Evelyn Arthur, the Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation, and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said the foundation had commenced the implementation of the project in local communities and basic schools in the regions.

The project implementation focused on breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation and providing comprehensive education on menstrual hygiene management.
Its implementation includes interactive workshops, distribution of menstrual hygiene kits, and the
establishment of support networks for young women and girls.

The statement highlighted the importance of menstrual health education towards fostering gender equality and improving the overall well-being of women and girls.

"Menstrual health is a fundamental human right and by educating our young women and girls, we are not only empowering them but also paving the way for a healthier and more equitable society", it stated.

Already outreaches had been conducted in some schools and communities with the sensitisation focusing on the biological aspects of menstruation, proper use and disposal of sanitary products and maintaining hygiene during menstruation.

The beneficiary schools were also encouraged to ask questions and share their experiences in a safe and supportive environment.
It said the project further sought to tackle period poverty by distributing menstrual hygiene kits including sanitary pads, and educational projects.

The statement advocated policy changes to ensure affordable menstrual products, and better sanitation facilities, indicating the need to break the taboo and societal myths surrounding menstruation.
It said this would foster confidence and inclusion, paving the way for a future where every girl could thrive without period-related barriers.
