• Short Description

• 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
  Menstrual hygiene in schools and the high cost of products are the most common
  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.
  Our aim is to make it accessible to every woman.

  hygiene.
