MAPP

As we mark International Women’s Day, the Movement Against Period Poverty (MAPP) celebrates the strength and leadership of women and girls everywhere. #InternationalWomensDay #EndPeriodPoverty #PeriodDignity

MAPP School Ambassadors successfully carried out The Missing Days Project – Group 3 at Latrikunda Sabiji School, engaging students on menstruation and menstrual hygiene. Sanitary pads, soaps, and hand sanitizers were distributed to promote dignity and continued school attendance.

This past Saturday, we created a safe and inclusive space for our school ambassadors to reflect on the past year and prepare for the one ahead. Special thanks to @SeraGillen for guiding the session, and to @peacehubthegambia for offering their space and support.

Kicking off #16DaysOfActivism with a focus on digital safety for women & girls. Online harassment, including period shaming is real violence. We must protect girls everywhere, offline and online. #EndGBV #DigitalSafety #PeriodDignity #MAPP

From awareness to creativity we did it! 💕 Our School Ambassadors’ Engagement was an afternoon filled with learning, laughter, and empowerment. #MAPP #PinkOctober #EmpowerHer

Earlier last week, MAPP carried out the second phase of its school outreach program at Gambia Methodist Academy. As always, MAPP remains at the forefront in the fight against period poverty, working to ensure that no girl is left behind because of her menstrual health.

As we work towards finalising the new National Social Protection Policy , we've organized a 3️⃣ day regional stakeholder convergence in Kudang, CRR. Over the weekend, we'll review the outgoing social protection policy, identify gaps, and collect stakeholder feedback. #NSPA

A one-month-old baby has died from FGM complications in Gambia. This is a tragedy we must not ignore. MAPP stands with UNICEF and all allies working to end FGM. Protect our girls. #SayNoToFGM #EndFGM #ProtectGirls @MAPP

Earlier last week, MAPP took the fight against period poverty to Gambia Methodist Academy. We held an interactive session on menstruation & hygiene breaking the stigma and creating safe spaces. Pads were also donated to support students in need. #EndPeriodPoverty #MAPPGambia

Leaving a tampon in for over 8 hours can lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) a rare but serious infection. Watch for fever, rash, vomiting, or dizziness. Change tampons regularly & stay informed. Your health matters. 💗 #TSSAwareness #PeriodHealth #MAPPGambia

Have you ever heard of PCOS? 🤔 It is a health condition caused by a hormonal imbalance. People with PCOS may experience missed or irregular periods, acne, weight challenges, and difficulty getting pregnant. It can also affect mental health. Find out more! #PCOSAwareness #MAPP

On Wednesday, our amazing Coordinator repped MAPP as a panelist at Starfish International’s event for #MenstrualHygieneDay! 💪🏾 Her voice continues to break taboos, raise awareness & advocate for better menstrual health for all. #MAPP #EndPeriodPoverty #StarfishInternational

Today on Menstrual Hygiene Day, MAPP stands with those affected by period poverty. Menstruation is natural-access to hygiene, dignity, and education should be too. Let's break the stigma and take action. #EndPeriodPoverty
