Keeping men away from menstrual issues contributes to the stigmatisation of the natural monthly cycle women go through, Alhaji Alhassan Ibn Ibrahim, a Gender Advocate, has asserted.
He said getting men involved in conversations on menstrual hygiene would make them appreciate the importance of supporting women during their monthly flow.
Speaking at a learning and sharing workshop for girls and young women under the "She Leads Project" in Kumasi, Alhaji Ibrahim underlined the need to educate boys on menstruation both at home and in school to understand and support their female siblings and colleagues.
This, he said, was the way to go as people in addressing stigmatisation of young girls during menstruation especially in the school environment.
