Since 2014, each year on May 28, the world has observed Menstrual Hygiene Day, a global advocacy platform to promote good menstrual health and hygiene for all girls and women.
This year, through several activities, the Ghana Education Service observed World Menstrual Hygiene Day in schools, districts, regions, and at the national level under the theme “Together for a Period Friendly Ghana.”
At the national level, the day was commemorated with a float from Ritz Junction, Madina to create awareness and a grand durbar at the Presbyterian Boy’s Senior High School’s Assembly Hall
