Speaking during an interview on one of the local television stations, the lobby group founder Janet Mbugua called on the need to highlight and address the challenges around menstrual cycles.

Menstruation is a natural part of human biology and there should be no stigma around discussing menstrual health and wellness, we must normalize the conversation around menstruation,” she said.

It is heartbreaking that hundreds of millions of people around the world are stigmatized and discriminated against for their menstrual cycles
