In their words
Participant Stories
“
Even as a health professional, I had gaps in my own knowledge about menstrual health that I didn’t realise were there… If a programme like this can reach someone like me, working in medicine, imagine what it can do for women who have had no access to this information at all.
Ms. Siriwardana, Health Professional

“
I used to feel shame about menstruation, I avoided religious activities and even medical care because of the beliefs I had grown up with. After the BleedGood workshop, I finally understood what was really happening in my body. Now I seek medical help when I need it, and I talk openly with my 12-year-old daughter so she grows up knowing better.

For many of us, this is the first time we are openly engaging in conversations and sharing knowledge about MHHM. As a new topic, it is already contributing to positive changes in mindset and equipping girls with important knowledge for the future.

Looking back
What We
Have Learned
Five lessons from five years of #BleedGood.
01
Menstrual health works best when it is built into schools, workplaces, health systems and policy
Not run as a stand-alone intervention.
02
Access and education belong together
Outcomes were strongest when products came with education and follow-up.
03
Communities sustain change
Local champions keep awareness going after projects end.
04
Listening improves solutions
User feedback has improved the product and programme design.
05
Safe dialogue enables change
Culturally sensitive spaces reduce stigma and widen participation.
