This edition of Frontiers of CLTS illustrates how CLTS programmes can be expanded to address menstrual hygiene management (MHM) in schools and communities to alleviate these stresses on women and girls.
Its specific objectives are to:
- Increase the awareness of policy-makers and practitioners on MHM.
- Engender change by highlighting the synergies between MHM and CLTS programmes.
- Share examples of how MHM interventions have been incorporated into CLTS and School-Led Total Sanitation (SLTS) programmes, drawing on the innovations and experiences of several organisations.
- Summarise what can be done to improve MHM through CLTS programmes.
