About Project
The training sessions were structured to encourage discussion and active participation to optimize learning among participants. Ice-breaking exercises were employed to cultivate a relaxed atmosphere, followed by group dialogues aimed at establishing session norms, expectations, and concerns. Participants engaged in self-reflection on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) to assess their comprehension, with sessions encompassing topics such as puberty, menstrual biology, and hygiene practices. Practical dialogues on MHM management across diverse settings and activities aimed at dispelling myths were conducted to deepen understanding.
Emphasis was placed on the role of teachers in MHM, focusing on the challenges encountered by schoolgirls, fostering safe environments, and employing effective teaching methodologies. Attendees reviewed materials from the girls’ guidebook and explored personal, interpersonal, societal, biological, and environmental factors influencing schoolgirls’ menstrual management.
Case studies and role-playing exercises offered hands-on insights, leading participants to devise action plans for integrating MHM content into their educational institutions. Assessments conducted before and after the training demonstrated improvements in participants’ knowledge, confidence, skills, and comfort levels in delivering MHM education to students.
