Menstrual hygiene is a very important part of improving access to water, sanitation and hygiene programmes (WASH). There are several aspects to menstrual hygiene management (MHM) including education, access to sustainable sanitary materials and improved facilities. MHM must include everyone from women and girls, to boys and men, and people with disabilities.
