Commemorating International Menstrual Hygiene Day 🩸

On May 28th, Mufaro Association proudly joined hands with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and collaborated with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Women Affairs, Community, Small and Medium Enterprises Development, other
like-minded organizations and local schools in Epworth to commemorate the International Menstrual Hygiene Day.

This important day served as a reminder of the urgent need to address the barriers that millions of menstruating individuals continue to face ranging from stigma and misinformation to lack of access to menstrual products, safe sanitation facilities, and comprehensive menstrual health education.

Through this partnership, we reaffirmed our commitment to advancing menstrual equity, especially for adolescents, by advocating for inclusive policies, community awareness, and improved access to dignified menstrual health services.

A key takeaway: boys must be included in Menstrual Hygiene Management (MSM) engagements to foster understanding and create lasting change.

Let’s continue working together to ensure that no one is held back because of their period.

Today, Mufaro Association joins the global community in commemorating World Menstrual Hygiene Day, standing in solidarity with adolescents in Mbare and across Zimbabwe who continue to face structural and social barriers to safe and dignified menstrual health.

Menstrual health is a critical component of adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), yet many young people — particularly girls and gender-diverse adolescents — remain underserved and underrepresented due to persistent policy gaps and implementation challenges within Zimbabwe’s legal and health systems.

🚫 Policy Discrepancies:
Despite progressive frameworks such as the National Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy, contradictions in the legal environment — particularly around age of consent for accessing SRHR services — continue to restrict adolescents’ ability to seek care autonomously. This legal ambiguity hampers timely access to menstrual health education, counselling, and essential services.

📉 Barriers to Menstrual Hygiene Access:
🔹 Affordability and availability of menstrual products remain major challenges, especially in high-density communities like Mbare.
🔹 Stigma and misinformation still prevail in schools, homes, and communities, silencing vital conversations around menstruation.
🔹 Limited infrastructure in schools and public spaces, including lack of clean water, privacy, and disposal systems, further marginalizes menstruating adolescents.

🔊 As we mark this important day, we call on policymakers, health stakeholders, and education leaders to:

✅ Harmonize laws and policies to ensure adolescents can access SRHR services, including menstrual care, without fear or restriction.
✅ Expand access to free or subsidized menstrual hygiene products for adolescents, especially those in underserved communities.
✅ Strengthen community and school-based menstrual health education to combat stigma and empower adolescents with accurate information.
✅ Invest in WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) infrastructure in learning institutions and community spaces.

Menstrual equity is not a privilege — it is a right. Let us work together to build an inclusive system that supports every adolescent in managing their menstrual health with dignity and confidence.

Friday Focus: Supporting Adolescent Mental Health

Happy Friday, Mufaro Community!
As we welcome the weekend, let's take a moment to shine a spotlight on a vital issue: mental health among our adolescents and young people.

In today's fast-paced world, many young individuals face a myriad of pressures—from academic stress to social media influences. It’s crucial that we prioritize mental health and create a supportive environment where our youth feel safe to express themselves.

✨ Here are a few ways we can support mental health:
1.Listen and Validate: Encourage open conversations. Sometimes, all a young person needs is someone to listen without judgment.
2.Promote Self-Care: Share healthy coping strategies, like physical activity, mindfulness, or creative outlets. A little self-care can go a long way!
3. Seek Help Together:Remind them that it’s okay to seek help when things get tough. Professional support can be a valuable resource.

Let’s work together to foster resilience and well-being in our youth. Your love and support can make a significant difference in their lives!

Wishing everyone a peaceful and restorative weekend! 💙

Did you know that 19 August is world Humanitarian Day? In Commemoration of World Humanitarian Day, as Mufaro Association we reaffirm our commitment to empowering adolescents and young people with knowledge and resources for their Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and Mental Health. We believe that universal health coverage is not just a goal—it's a right that everyone deserves access to.

Our advocacy doesn't stop at awareness; we're driving change, ensuring that young people have access to the services they need to lead healthy, fulfilling lives. Through our community outreach, education programs, and support services, we’re breaking barriers and fostering a generation that is informed, healthy, and resilient.

Join us in advocating for a world where SRH and mental health services are accessible to all, and no one is left behind. Together, we can make universal health coverage a reality.
