‘No time to rest: Ensuring every girl in Nepal can thrive on her period’ was Nepal’s first ever consultative workshop on menstrual health. Co-hosted by GIZ and the Menstrual Health Management Alliance, the workshop took place on December 11, 2018 at Hotel Yak&Yeti in Kathmandu, Nepal.
The workshop brought together over 350 participants including policymakers, practitioners, creators, private sector actors, researchers, adolescents, youth and the media. The goal of the workshop was to build a strong multi-sectoral, evidence-based collaboration on menstrual health management (MHM) by positioning it as a holistic health and rights issue. It initiated pledges, national policies and strategies, in accordance with the SDGs, to advance and achieve better menstrual health management for girls and women in Nepal, so that every girl and woman can thrive on her period.
