What is the purpose of a MHM kit?
The primary purpose of an MHM Kit is to provide women and girls with the necessary supplies to manage their menstrual cycles in a clean and private manner. This is crucial in preventing infections, reducing the stigma associated with menstruation, and ensuring that women and girls can continue their daily activities without interruption or discomfort.
In humanitarian contexts, where access to menstrual products can be severely limited, MHM Kits play a vital role in protecting the health, dignity, and overall well-being of women and girls. By addressing their specific needs, these kits help to empower women and girls, enabling them to maintain their personal hygiene and participate fully in their communities, even during times of crisis.
