CARE refugee pilot

About:

WoMena provides CARE International with implementation support for a menstrual cup pilot intervention in Imvepi Refugee Settlement in 2017-2018. This project is designed to train 80 community members and 20 CARE/partner support staff and leaders among the displaced women to become trainers in menstrual cup usage and menstrual health management.

 

Objective:

  • To introduce the menstrual cup as a form of safe and effective menstrual health management method in CARE’s integrated Wash, Shelter and Protection response to newly arrived South Sudanese refugees and host communities in Imvepi Refugee Settlement
  • To educate beneficiaries and secondary support groups on menstrual health management, including menstrual cups and how to safely and effectively use them
  • To engage the communities in discussions on menstruation; deepen their understanding on how it impacts girls, women and their families, address related stigma and taboos, and create open spaces for talking positively about menstruation and reproductive health issues.
