In the Republic of Northern Macedonia, the percentage of girls who do not go to school
during their menstruation in rural areas is 90%, while in
urban areas is 75%. Inadequate management conditions

reason why girls do not go to school. Students miss 2 to 5
days of the educational process in the month showed the study conducted by NGOs
“Human Rights Journalists.” But 15% of women do not use any means
for MHZ due to lack of opportunity to buy them.
