Menstrual hygiene

Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is an essential aspect of hygiene for women and adolescent girls between menarche and menopause.

Despite being an important issue concerning women and girls in the menstruating age group MHM is often overlooked in post-disaster responses.

Further, there is limited evidence of menstrual hygiene management in humanitarian settings. This study aims to describe the experiences and perceptions of women and adolescent girls on menstrual hygiene management in post-earthquake Nepal.
