The annual event was celebrated in order that feminist would become aware of their menstrual cycles and as such properly take healthy care of it.

The cycle has numerous myths and notions surrounding the canker globally and that is a necessity to psych the upcoming young girls for embracement.

Considering the circumstances shielding the menstrual cycles and the discomfort it brings to most women, it was very necessary.

Girls in education felt ashamed and had to stay at home for days to end the period before stepping forward to school, the act tarries their progress in school and other activities. Sometimes to public ridicule.

The use of sanitary pads has the potency to address the concerns which is hardly purchased by low-income guardians or parents. Compelling the students to use ‘any’ as a comfort to stop the flow of blood at that age.

Based on that, the Atwima Nwabiagya North District Assembly has supported the programme with sanitary pads worth over thousands of Ghana cedis.

The event was privileged to have others support entities and individuals.

Nana Banie Ahenkan the Queen Mother of Asoufua and Chairperson of the programme cautioned the young girls to properly and healthily treat their bodily parts from all other types of odours.

The queen mother, was of the view that such stains really was a discomfort which isolated most girls from the public and hoped heeding to what has been taught would make a positive impact on their lives.

She ceased the opportunity to advised the young teens against teenage pregnancy and other negative vices which society frowns upon.

Nana Banie, commended the organisers and all other stakeholders for making it a success.

In the event, students were educated over the menstrual cycles processes and the use a sanitary pad during period stage.

As part of the programme, students were given a sanitary pad for use at a time when one menstruates.

Students who were active participants were grateful to all stakeholders and supporters for the success of the whole event and assured to adhering to the counsel they just received.

The celebration was held for girls in various schools in the District, Barekese Senior High School (BASEC), Spiritan Senior Technical School, Junior and Primary schools respectively.
