Today, on #HumanRightsDay,we reaffirm our commitment to uplifting vulnerable communities in Mitooma District and beyond through Empowering women & youth,Promoting blood donation,Supporting education & menstrual hygiene & Fighting poverty. #PatelFoundationUganda

This week, we conducted Menstrual Health and School-Related Gender-Based Violence training for pupils at Kalebera and Wakitaka Primary Schools in Jinja District. We also distributed reusable pads, increasing access to menstrual health information and products for learners. Together, we continue to promote dignity, knowledge, and safer school environments for girls. @IriseInt @LillianBagala #PeriodPositiveSchools #PeriodProductAccess #MenstrualJusticeForAll

Our recent baseline study revealed that school-related gender-based violence is worsening menstrual health challenges for students, affecting their safety, dignity, and ability to learn. In response, the Period Positive Schools Project continues to work closely with schools to provide comprehensive menstrual health education and access to menstrual products. Through this intervention, students and pupils learn to manage their periods with confidence, while schools become safer and more inclusive for girls to fully participate without fear or stigma. @IriseInt @LillianBagala #PeriodPositiveSchools #MenstrualJusticeForAll

“Give them a chance.” Women are not lazy. Through skills training, we equip women and girls with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to speak up, lead initiatives, and create lasting impact. #SyradoUG #WomenLeadership #EmpowerHer

Happy International Women’s Day 2026! Today we celebrate the strength, leadership, and resilience of women and girls everywhere. As Irise Institute East Africa, we remain committed to advancing menstrual justice and ensuring that no one is held back because of their period. When we break the silence around menstruation, we move closer to a more equal world. Together, let’s continue building period-friendly communities where every girl and woman can live with dignity. #InternationalWomensDay2026 #GiveToGain #MenstrualJusticeForAll @LillianBagala @IriseInt @PadprojectV

We recently participated in the National Inception Meeting for the I Am Girl Project hosted by @FieldsofLife. A project tackling critical barriers that prevent adolescents from staying and succeeding in school, with a strong focus on strengthening School WASH policies and improving sanitation facilities. As Irise Institute East Africa, we recognise that investing in safe, inclusive, and gender-responsive WASH infrastructure is essential to improving attendance, retention, and overall learner well-being, especially for girls. #MenstrualJusticeForAll

Last week, IIEA joined a national consultation convened by URSB, @NaguruC, and UNFPA to review the draft standards on menstrual products ahead of the regional discussions in Accra this April. The meeting brought together key stakeholders to identify gaps, clarify priorities, and ensure the proposed standards are practical, context-responsive, and aligned with Uganda’s realities. Strengthened menstrual product standards are critical to safeguarding the health and dignity of girls and women, guiding local manufacturers, improving product quality and safety, and building public trust in products used in schools and communities. @ThePadProject1 #PeriodProductAccess #MenstrualJusticeForAll

Ahead of International Women’s Day, we are sharing Impact stories from our projects following this year’s theme, “Give to Gain.” For years, Anna missed school during her period. After receiving menstrual health education and a reusable pad, she regained her confidence and now participates fully in school. Her story reminds us that when "we give dignity, we gain period equality". @IriseInt @Tinganes @LillianBagala #GiveDignityGainPeriodEquality #MenstrualJusticeForAll #PeriodPositiveSchools #IWD2026

As we count down to #IWD2026, our Programs Officer Menstrual Health and Product Distribution @NamumbyaSarah1 reflects on the impact of the PPS and @TheCovaProject initiatives, showing how menstrual health education and product distribution are advancing period equality in schools and communities. Access to menstrual health information and products is not just a privilege, but it is dignity, education, and opportunity. When we invest in girls’ menstrual health, we all gain: girls stay in school, build confidence, and lead change in their communities. @IriseInt @thecovaproject #GiveDignityGainPeriodEquity #PeriodPositiveSchools #GivetoGain
