Mumbai: Menstrual Hygiene Day, observed every year on May 28, is a global initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the vital importance of menstrual hygiene and ensuring that everyone has access to the resources they need to manage their periods safely and with dignity. It also aims to challenge deep-rooted stigma, break harmful taboos, and create a more open and inclusive conversation around menstruation.

Though menstruation is a natural biological function, it is still often surrounded by shame and silence in many parts of the world. This silence contributes to misinformation, poor hygiene practices, and limited access to necessary menstrual products—ultimately putting health, education, and dignity at risk.

The selection of May 28 holds symbolic significance: the average menstrual cycle lasts 28 days, and menstruation typically occurs over five days; thus, 5/28 serves as a meaningful reminder of this biological rhythm and the importance of maintaining menstrual health throughout.

Menstrual Hygiene Day also serves as a powerful platform to bust myths, promote proper hygiene practices, and advocate for equity in menstrual health education. Poor menstrual hygiene can lead to serious health issues such as infections and reproductive complications, which makes spreading accurate information and ensuring product accessibility all the more crucial.

To support this mission, we’ve curated a collection of inspiring posters, creative drawings, and impactful images that highlight the importance of menstrual hygiene and spark conversation. Share these visuals to spread awareness, encourage open dialogue, and help build a world where menstruation is met with understanding, respect, and care, not stigma.

Menstruation

Let us raise our voices and challenge the silence that has surrounded menstruation for far too long. It’s time to end the stigma, dismantle the myths, and foster a culture where conversations about periods are met with empathy, respect, and openness.

By speaking up, educating ourselves and others, and embracing menstrual health as a vital part of overall well-being, we take a collective step toward equality, dignity, and inclusion. Together, we can create a world where no one feels ashamed or excluded because of a natural biological process. Let’s talk freely, support fully, and empower every individual who menstruates.
