World Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026 - Together for a Period Friendly World

Meet from Badrisa, Adamawa State.

Through the Sang Pour Sang Project, HARAF created safe spaces for women aged 35+ to speak openly about menstruation. With support from Agence Française de Développement and Fòs Feminista Rosemary gained accurate health information and the confidence to challenge stigma she once accepted as normal.

Today, she’s leading new conversations at home and in her community. Harmful beliefs are being questioned. Silence is being replaced with dignity. Rosemary’s story shows what happens when women have knowledge and support: mindsets shift, and menstrual health becomes a right, not a secret.
