The ability to manage one's periods safely and with dignity is essential to staying in school and keep focused on learning. In Nepal more than 40% of girls reported missing school during menstruation. In the UK it’s estimated that over 137 000 children miss school each year because they can’t afford tampons or other period products. In this webinar we want to highlight some case studies and good examples of what can be done to tackle this issue and keep education gender equal. We will hear from experts from Scotland, Bolivia and Sweden and have a discussion about lessons learnt from these countries, and what measures can be implemented elsewhere.
