IN A bid to tackle period poverty among young women, the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development and feminine hygiene brand Kotex have come together under a project to reach 600,000 girls aged 13 to 17 for a comprehensive menstrual hygiene and reproductive health education.
The programme, called “Kasih Remaja: Sihat & Selamat” (Teen Love: Healthy & Safe) aims to tackle period poverty, the stigma surrounding menstruation, break down taboos and foster resilient well-being.
