Irise International @IriseInt

On #InternationalYouthDay. Under this year’s theme, “Local Youth Actions for the SDGs and Beyond,” we celebrate the power of young changemakers advancing menstrual health and education at the grassroots level. Together, we’re forging a future filled with dignity, opportunity, and possibility. #MenstrualJusticeForAll #IYD2025

⏳Just 1 Day to Go! Our Pre-MH Day Webinar is tomorrow, kindly block your calendars 🗓️ for this powerful conversation on advancing menstrual health and #PeriodFriendlyWorld! We can’t wait to see you there! ✨ #MHDay2025 #MenstrualJusticeForAll

Menstrual Health is a human rights issue, and there's a pressing need for Members of Parliament to prioritise it in policy and budgeting. I call on my fellow legislators to champion access to menstrual products, inclusive WASH infrastructure, and MHH education. Hon @AmonginJ

Back in 2023 as part of the #EveryPeriodCounts movement we teamed up with @LoveYourPeriod1 to collect period stories for change. Enforcing the narrative that periods are ‘disgusting’ continues to build on already harmful stigmas and misconceptions, through generations.🩸

Our Partners @PEERUganda, under Small Grants and @We_empower_her, under period positive schools are advancing menstrual health education in Mukono and refugee communities respectively, making period equality a reality for all. @IriseInt #TPENSmallGrants #PeriodPositiveSchoolsUG

Now more than ever we want to extend our support to the entire Irise community, especially our trans community. We see you. We love you. Our stance on menstrual justice for ALL is only strengthened by yesterday’s ruling.

A massive congratulations to our youth member, Molly. Molly is a powerful voice - through speaking out to challenge stigma and drive policy change, she demonstrates how youth voice is leading the transformative social change we need to see in the menstrual justice movement.
