TEMA MAYOR CALLS FOR GREATER MENSTRUAL HEALTH SUPPORT FOR GIRLS.

The Mayor of Tema, Ebi Bright, has called for increased efforts to support girls' menstrual health and education during a World Menstrual Hygiene Day event in Tema Newtown.
The programme brought together students, community members and advocates to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene and challenge stigma surrounding menstruation.
Speaking at the event, Ms Bright said access to menstrual health information and hygiene products was essential to ensuring that girls could remain confident and continue their education without interruption.
She also praised storyteller and advocate Nii Dromo for using storytelling as a tool to encourage open conversations about menstruation and to support young girls.
"Breaking the silence around menstruation is critical to ensuring that girls are able to participate fully in school and community life," she said.
World Menstrual Hygiene Day is observed annually on 28 May to promote awareness of menstrual health challenges and advocate improved access to menstrual hygiene resources for women and girls.
The Tema Mayor said collaboration among government institutions, civil society organisations and local communities would be key to building what she described as a "period-friendly Ghana", where no girl is disadvantaged because of menstruation.
The event formed part of broader efforts to improve menstrual health awareness and promote dignity and inclusion for girls across the country.
