2026 WORLD MENSTRUAL HYGIENE DAY CELEBRATION

As part of activities marking the 2026 World Menstrual Hygiene Day celebration, I have received sanitary pads for onward distribution to selected institutions within the municipality, including Mawuli School, Ho Prisons, and Mandanfo Ghana.

The initiative, organized by the regional minister Hon. James Gunu on behalf of the Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Her Excellency Professor Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang aims to address period poverty and promote good menstrual hygiene practices among girls and vulnerable groups across the municipality.

Speaking at the presentation, I reiterated government’s dedication to ensuring that every girl has access to sanitary products to support her education and wellbeing. I noted that menstrual hygiene goes beyond health, stressing that it is also about dignity, self-confidence, and creating equal opportunities for every girl child to succeed
