The Menstrual Pad Hygiene Management Bank is part of the Nurture, Empower, and Protect Programme, a five-year joint initiative implemented by UNFPA, UNICEF, and the Government of Liberia, funded by Ireland. Biaye stated that installing menstrual pad dispensers in public schools demonstrates UNFPA’s commitment to breaking barriers that hinder girls’ full participation in education. “Ireland is proud to support this project, which aligns with our development policy of leaving no one behind, especially adolescent girls. Menstrual health is not just a health issue; it is an education issue, a dignity issue, and a gender equality issue. Menstrual health challenges contribute significantly to absenteeism, disengagement, and, in some cases, school dropout among adolescent girls,” she stated.
