Millennium Fellowship Project: My Flow My Identity
My Flow, My Identity is a menstrual health and hygiene empowerment initiative designed to educate adolescent girls, break menstruation-related stigma, and promote confidence, dignity, and healthy practices among young learners.
The project addresses the persistent myths, cultural taboos, and misinformation surrounding menstruation within many communities. These misconceptions often lead to shame, fear, poor hygiene practices, and school absenteeism among young girls. Through school-based outreach programs, interactive teaching sessions, and open discussions, My Flow, My Identity creates safe spaces where girls can ask questions, share experiences, and learn without judgment.
