| Description: | Menstrual hygiene management is about water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). It also matters for education: There is a risk that girls and female teachers may not attend school when menstruating. This is particularly evident in schools with inadequate WASH facilities, or with temples or altars nearby or within the school grounds. This means negative impacts for girls’ education, women’s rights and the environment. Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Project in Western Nepal Phase II (RWSSP-WN II) is committed to create an environment in which all community members have equitable opportunities to pursue their right to water and sanitation, whether menstruating or not! The background and motive for this Brief is described in the Menstruation, WASH and RWSSP-WN - Position Paper, RWSSP-WN Brief 2-2018. This triggered us to explore the topic more in depth through different types of surveys as listed in the side bar. This Brief 6-2018 focuses on 664 students, both girls and boys. The following RWSSP-WN Brief 7-2018 takes a closer look at the teachers (who should know). |
