During menstruation
period girls often feel low mostly because of lack of appropriate material to
use during their period’s .This makes girls miss school or training centers to
first handle this woman issue. This makes them lag behind their male counter
parts most of the time in regard to performance and to involve in sexual
relationships so that they can get support from the “boyfriends “.
RIC-NET under the
project advancing the dignity of vulnerable children and youth as supported by
the Global Fund for Children trains girls in vocational hands on skills, equips
them with reproductive health knowledge, supports the babies of the young mothers,
provides start up kits for them and equips them entrepreneurial skills to
handle their small businesses so that they can earn some income to improve on their
lives that have been hardened by conflict.
Girls at one of the centers
in Rwamwanja were provided with sanitary material to help them handle their menstrual
periods conveniently as they attend their vocational training s. The girls were happy
and they said that they will always attend their classes as some time they miss
because they do not have the material to use during their periods |
