Empowering girls with knowledge & tools for #MenstruationMatters to reduce absenteeism & break links between menstruation, marriage, & childbearing readiness.
“Can we talk about teenage pregnancy and #childmarriage without talking about #menstrualhealth?”
We brought that question to the @SRHRAllianceUg Youth Symposium in Mayuge. FlowReady’s message: before her first period, be there.
BEFORE HER FIRST PERIOD, BE THERE. 💜
This #DayOfTheGirl, our new shirts carry a message we’ll soon share with parents at a PTA meeting in Luwero, Uganda. Prepare girls with honest conversations, knowledge and support, before the first flow.

In Uganda, around two-thirds of girls lack knowledge about menstruation before their first period—a challenge shared across many low-income settings.
This #PeriodActionDay, we’re reaffirming a simple but powerful idea: preparation should begin before the first flow.

Before she bleeds, she deserves to know. Before she’s told she's now a woman, ready for marriage & babies, she deserves the chance to simply be a girl.
I wish someone had prepared me for my first period. I also wish I’d known much earlier that exercise could help me manage #menstrualpain. I only discovered that as an adult and, honestly, I was skeptical!
