In Senegal, menstruation is an uncomfortable, even taboo, topic for many women. Women in rural areas or from poor backgrounds may lack the necessary menstrual products, and their schools may not be equipped to help them manage their menstrual needs, so they miss days of school when they have their periods. Women may also not commonly discuss menstruation or lack education on related to menstrual hygiene and management. Of course, there are also women in Senegal who deeply understand and who can access the menstrual resources available in Senegal. However, many other women may lack resources, support or education related to menstrual management.
