Join us live on Instagram as we answer your questions on periods. 

This year鈥檚 Menstrual Hygiene Day is calling for more action and investment in menstrual health and hygiene now! But what does that mean in practice? Who is most at risk? And how does research make a difference? Here at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), we have a wealth of knowledge and expertise related to Menstrual Health and Hygiene 鈥 particularly when it comes to innovating to empower the most vulnerable and marginalised.  

In a 45-minute live Q&A on LSHTM鈥檚 Instagram channel, we鈥檒l be answering the most frequently asked questions based around three themes:  

  • 12.00 - 12.15: Menstrual hygiene and disability
  • 12.15 - 12.30: Menstrual health and education 
  • 12.30 - 12.45: Menstrual health, human rights and WASH (water, sanitation and hygiene)
