#MenstrualHygieneDay is a day set aside globally to promote menstrual hygiene for girls and women.

As part of water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Gender Mainstreaming programs, the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND Foundation) collaborated with Women in Chemistry (WIC), the women chapter of Chemical Society of Nigeria (CSN) for our #MenstrualHygieneDay event. This program was held at our Appropriate Technology Enabled Development (ATED) Centre in Warri, Delta State on May 30, 2017.

A paper was presented by Dr. Doris F. Ogeleka titled 'Chemistry in Menstrual Hygiene'. Dr. Doris explained the Chemical components of sanitary hygiene products - like pads, tampons, tissue paper, wool etc - and how they affect the human body.
