In the press: Sustainable menstrual health solutions for women in Uganda
WoMena’s work in Uganda is featured in an article in the online magazine Impakter.
Addressing the MHM challenges in a country like Uganda goes beyond simply distributing products to those in need. WoMena’s interventions are based on high-quality program designs; including tailoring the approach to the local culture, ensuring community involvement, comprehensive participatory training on menstrual health and creating structures that support the beneficiaries while they try out the new solution. The core of the work of the organisation is developing effective program designs for introducing reproductive health solutions at the local level while addressing wider structural barriers to integration of access to menstrual health into national strategies and policies.
