“Period poverty is not just about pads.” – Dr. Hannah Nazri

Speaking as a panellist at SUHAKAM’s launch of Malaysia’s first human rights report on period poverty, Dr. Hannah Nazri shed light on a harsh reality:

“Some girls in rural areas would rather get pregnant than deal with menstruation due to the cost and stigma.”

This powerful moment highlights the urgent need to address period poverty as a human rights issue — not just a hygiene concern.

The report made 14 key recommendations, including:
🔹 Free menstrual products in public schools, hospitals & clinics
🔹 National data collection & research on period poverty
🔹 Age-appropriate sexual & reproductive health education
🔹 Consideration of menstrual leave at the workplace

This is more than a women’s issue — it’s about dignity, access, and equality.

It’s time to move from awareness to action.
Menstruation is not a choice. But access, dignity, and rights should be.

LINK IN BIO

Can a procedure rooted in patriarchy be ethical just because it’s done in a clinic?

This blog was written in response to powerful questions raised during our recent webinar featuring Dr , Prof Samuel Kimani, and Saarrah Ray. Experts from across Asia and Africa discussed the growing concern around the medicalisation of female ge***al mutilation/cutting (FGM/C)—a shift that risks legitimising the practice under the guise of safety and consent.

Legal and ethical contradictions are stark. While UK law bans FGM/C, it permits female ge***al cosmetic surgery (FGCS) under adult consent. But what does “consent” really mean when it’s shaped by internalised gender norms and societal pressure?

PhD researcher Saarrah Ray (University of Oxford) argues that FGCS is not separate from FGM/C—it’s a continuation, repackaged for modern sensibilities but driven by the same forces of control and conformity.

If healthcare systems don’t interrogate power, culture, and autonomy, they risk becoming complicit.

It’s time we rethink how we define care, choice, and consent—especially in clinical spaces.

The Holistic Endometriosis Care (Bench to Bedside) workshop was held on 27th May 2025 at Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara () bringing together international experts in reproductive health. The half-day event featured presentations on diagnostics, pain mechanisms, clinical guidelines, and research collaborations in endometriosis care.

Speakers included leading specialists from the University of Oxford, Monash University (Malaysia and Australia), and the University of Warwick (Dr ). Highlights included discussions on the WERF EPHect framework, ESHRE guidelines, and the Malaysian endometriosis registry and advocacy landscape.

Dr Hannah Nazri, also Director of the Malaysian Doctors for Women & Children, spoke on the Malaysian landscape of endometriosis advocacy, highlighting the intersection of period stigma, period poverty, and the gender pain gap in relation to endometriosis. The workshop also emphasised the role of patient support organisations in improving care and awareness.

Open to healthcare professionals, the event offered CPD points, with lunch and refreshments provided.
