TED talk by the founder of Days for Girls Celeste Mergens: https://youtu.be/Aa_NyPa2qY4?si=FpAr2t8ZV1sdmi00

Below are some of the topics that are being shared during the educational workshop, when the Starter-Kits are distributed:

• DfG Health Education includes the following topics:

• Puberty and reproductive systems

• The menstrual cycle (including an in-depth look at each of the 4 phases, how to track your own menstrual cycle and why this is helpful)

• Hygiene including handwashing, UTI prevention, and more

• How to hygienically and safely use and care for a DfG Kit

• Self-defense and human trafficking avoidance

• Sexually transmitted diseases

• This education can simultaneously increase body confidence and decrease shame, embarrassment, and anxiety. It can shatter negative stigmas and taboos surrounding menstruation and empower women and girls with more choices and knowledge about their own bodies. It can also encourage intergenerational and community-driven education as those that have a correct understanding of menstruation can pass it on to their friends, relatives, and community members - thereby creating a positive cycle of empowerment and knowledge.
