I saw a girl who got her period for the first time in French Class. I was in Jss2, 12 years old, and the girl in front of me stood up to answer a question in class, and she had blood stains on her ash skirt. I was scared, so scared. Did she sit on a nail? What happened? The older and wilder boys in class burst into laughter when they saw it, and she bent her head in shame, and she cried, and she cried so hard. It's been many years from that day, but I haven't forgotten. Now, imagine how it is/was for her. Would she forget? Would she heal from that experience easily? She was just a little girl whom adulthood decided to surprise. What if she knew that day would come? What if she was taught from time not to cower in shame because of something that's part of her rite of passage into womanhood? Daily, little girls experience this same thing. It's a scary place to be when you don't really understand what's going on in your body. This is exactly why we are organizing the NiMSA SE Pad-a-girl Project. So the little girl in abakaliki would know that menstruating is nothing to be ashamed of, so the Jss 2 girl in Onitsha doesn't cry when she gets it for the first time. So Little Chiamaka in Uturu doesn't skip school because she's afraid and So that the Jss1 girl in Enugu learns that it's natural and nothing to cry about. To teach These Young Ones about menstrual hygiene and seal the deal with free sanitary pads. So they'll know they aren't alone. We need you to work with us to distribute pads and love to girls in secondary schools across the southeast. On May 28th, 2026 The Pad-a-girl Project is happening simultaneously in different MSAs in the region, involve yourself, lend your voice, and funds, too! We're doing this project because we can, because it's possible and because the girl child deserves all the support they can get. To finish my story, we called the teacher's attention, and the teacher asked the girls to cover her and escort her to the girls' toilet and for those boys... Oh God! They flogged them like cows, and they spent the whole day washing toilets.
