Poor menstrual hygiene can lead to stress, anxiety, and embarrassment, significantly impacting a woman\u2019s confidence and social interactions,\u201d she said<\/p>\n<p>At the same event, Nnabageraka Fund signed a partnership with Shuya Sanitary Napkins in a bid to distribute free sanitary towels during the sensitisation exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Joy Zizinga, the communication executive of the Nnaabagereka Fund said the collaboration emphasises the critical importance of menstrual hygiene management among children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is need to foster a supportive environment for women and girls during their menstrual cycles. Despite being a natural biological process, menstruation remains shrouded in stigma and taboo in many communities,\u201d she observed.<\/p>\n<p>Daily Bashemera, head of sales at Shuya Napkins said working with Nnaabagereka Fund will help to reach more pupils who are vulnerable in menstrual hygiene issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAddressing these issues is essential to mitigate the mental health challenges that often accompany menstrual stigma and isolation,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Menstrual Hygiene Day is observed annually on May 28, aims to break the stigma surrounding menstruation and promote good menstrual health and hygiene practices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
