500m women, girls lack adequate facilities for menstrual hygiene management globally – Foundation
By Ifeoma Ikem
Miss Ololade Ogunnubi, the founder, Lola cater for the needy foundation, a non governmental organization (NGO) says about 500 million women and girls lack adequate facilities for menstrual hygiene management globally.
Ogunnubi said this at an event to commemorate the 2021 menstrual hygiene day in Lagos.
Mostly on inadequate wash (water, sanitation and hygiene) facilities, particularly in public places, such as in schools, workplaces or health centers, can pose a major obstacle to women and girls.
The foundation while marking the day with the support from Education as a vaccine (EVA) and United Nations population fund (UNFPA) gave out menstrual kits to no fewer than twenty five girls.
She said the campaign was part of activities to mark this year’s Menstrual Hygiene Day.
“The foundation has at least reached about two hundred students who have benefited from the Menstrual products.
“The organisation decided to take the campaign to students at the rural areas to break the misconceptions about menstruation and raise awareness on the need to promote good menstrual hygiene.
“The campaign will kick off with school children across five states Lagos, Ogun, FCT, Nasarawa, and Oyo and we are not limiting it to only female students, we want the male students to also learn about it.
The main menstrual sensitization will start from June 24 in Nasarawa state until July 11th . We hope to reach out to 500 students both boys and girls
Menstrual Hygiene Day is a day set aside globally to educate young girls and ladies in particular and the general public about Menstrual Hygiene as well as break the stigma and clarify myths and misconceptions around Menstruation
Its annual awareness day is every 28 may to help break the silence and build awareness about the fundamental role that good menstrual hygiene management (MHM) plays in enabling women and girls to reach their full potential.
Those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry” – Prudent Ludidi
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today, I want to talk about something that can be difficult to accept, those who wronged you may never say “I’m sorry.”
We’ve all been hurt by someone at some point in our lives. And often, we hold onto that hurt, and hope in waiting for the person who wronged us to acknowledge their mistake and apologize.
But the truth is, that apology may never come.
It’s hard to accept because we feel like we deserve closure. We deserve to hear that the person who hurt us regrets their actions.
But closure is not something someone else gives you. Closure is something you give yourself.
You have the power to choose:
Choose to heal, even if they never acknowledge their wrongdoing
Choose to move forward, even if they never make amends
Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting what happened. Forgiveness means releasing the hold that person has on you.
Forgiveness means taking back control of your life.
You don’t need someone else’s apology to move on. You don’t need someone else’s validation to heal.
You are strong enough to do it on your own.
And when you do, you’ll find peace. You’ll find freedom.
Remember, holding onto anger and resentment only hurts you. It doesn’t change the past.
But forgiveness can change your future.
So, don’t wait for someone else to say “I’m sorry.” Say it to yourself: “I’m sorry that happened to me, but I’m moving forward.”
Say it loud and clear: “I deserve to heal. I deserve to be happy.”
Take back your power. Take back your life.
Move forward with courage and faith.
You got this.
