11795 Menstrual Health and Hygiene movement: Together for a period-friendly world.

The WASH sector embraced menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) early on. It first emerged at the World Water Week in 2010, followed by the establishment of Menstrual Hygiene Day and the #MHMin10 initiative in 2014. Since then, MHH has come a long way in creating awareness, establishing programming across sectors, collating data, and driving policy change. The session highlights progress achieved in menstrual health and hygiene over the past 10 years. It will discuss what's needed in the years to come to create a period-friendly world, that contributes to gender equality and creates a sustainable future for women, girls and the communities. The session will: 1. Present progress in MHH on global, regional and country levels and in humanitarian settings. Presenters will elaborate on good practices that strengthen the enabling environment and leverage government leadership. 2. Highlight the investment case, through, e.g. the MHH Funding Tracker and studies on the return on investment, and discuss funding pathways for MHH by, e.g. looking at market-based approaches and financing models. 3. Discuss key challenges as well as opportunities for MHH in the next 10 years.
