A research article published on 5th January 2019 by BMC Public Health volume 19, Article number: 16 on Menstrual hygiene management in rural schools of Zambia, revealed that while in school, girls require an environment that is supportive of menstrual hygiene management (MHH) in order to ensure regular school attendance and participation. The research results stated, most girls reported MHH-related challenges, including: inadequate provision of sanitary materials, water, hygiene and sanitation facilities in schools. In particular, toilets did not have soap and water or doors and locks for privacy and had a bad odor. Girls’ school attendance and participation in physical activities was compromised when menstruating due to fear of teasing (especially by boys) and embarrassment from menstrual leakage. As a result, menstruating schoolgirls in rural Zambia would rather stay home than be uncomfortable, and embarrassed due to inadequate MHM facilities at school.
