Laos - Training and awareness-raising on feminine hygiene
For the past 6 years, we have been running annual awareness-raising and information campaigns on menstruation and feminine hygiene for teenage girls in middle and high schools in Lang Khang and Boualapha. This action is essential and has significantly reduced the school dropout rate among girls who lack access to menstrual protection and proper hygiene ❤️ This December, the Sourires d’Enfants team intervened for the first time at the Naang middle and high schools, in the Kayoub area: we trained and supported 96 young girls. Through workshops, games, and activities, they learned about the different stages of the menstrual cycle and the basic rules of feminine hygiene. 📖 Each girl received a comic book on this topic designed by Laos Solidarity, reusable sanitary pads, underwear, and soap!
