Menstrual hygiene management considerations during Ebola response
There is increased recognition within humanitarian response practice about the importance of addressing the menstruation-related needs of women and girls in emergencies. To date, however, menstruation has been minimally considered during Ebola virus disease (EVD) response efforts. Reasons for integrating menstrual hygiene management (MHM) into EVD response include suspicions and alarm arising from associating menstrual blood as a symptom of EVD a…

“Do We Not Bleed?” Sanitation, Menstrual Management, and Homelessness in the Time of Covid
Although access to adequate sanitation is formally recognized as a basic human right, public toilets have long been flagged as absent necessities by groups marginalized by class, gender, race, and ability in the United States. Navigating public spaces without the guarantee of reliable restrooms is more than a passing inconvenience for anyone needing immediate relief. This includes workers outside of traditional offices, people with medical condit…
How addressing menstrual health and hygiene may enable progress across the Sustainable Development Goals
There is increasing global attention to the importance of menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) for the lives of those who menstruate and gender equality. Yet, the global development community, which focuses on issues ranging from gender to climate change to health, is overdue to draw attention to how addressing MHH may enable progress in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To address this gap, we undertook a collective exercise to h…
The intersection of menstruation, school and family
Evidence on U.S.A. girls’ experiences with menstruation, especially in schools, remains limited. This includes learning from low-income, urban and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) girls; with the latter often experiencing puberty and menarche earlier than their peers. Qualitative and participatory research methodologies were utilized with girls (15-19) and adults working with youth in three U.S.A. cities (New York City, Los Angeles,…
The Extent to Which Menstruation-Related Issues Are Included in Graduate-Level Public Health Curricula

Public health graduates of U.S. schools of public health must have adequate competencies to address menstruation and its implications for health and wellbeing in their future endeavors in research, practice and policy. This study sought to understand the extent to which U.S. schools currently integrate menstruation-related content (menstrual heal…

Largely ignored are the menstruation-management needs of people experiencing homelessness. We explored these realities in New York City through in-depth interviews with individuals living on the street and in shelters (n = 22), key informant interviews with staff at government agencies, shelters and service provider organizations (n …
