| dc.description | Despite the debilitating and humiliating effects that poor Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) can have on women and girls in emergency settings, research has shown that in an emergency context MHM is not prioritised by humanitarian responders. Yet displacement and the very act of having to flee one’s home seriously disrupt the habitual, but often inadequate, coping strategies adopted by women and girls when at home. Moreover, during the period of displacement it is unlikely that women and girls would be able to carry an adequate supply of underwear, cloths or sanitary products to alleviate their recurrent monthly menstrual hygiene needs, making the inability to access these essential items during displacement an additional but real concern. Upon arriving at transit or reception centres, women and girls may therefore be in dire need of basic menstrual hygiene supplies and facilities, and require a supporting environment in which to deal with these matters. | en_US |
