THE AFRICA GENDER EQUALITY CONFERENCE 2021

March 23, 2021NewsBy Youth Wave0 comment

Partners,

We are excited to share with you all the Declaration that came out of the first Africa Gender Equality Conference 2021, which was held in Malawi from 8 to 10 March.

The call to action is in line with the conference themes of women’s leadership, investing in women for equitable growth, new pathways to end violence against women and girls (though the access to justice issue is not mentioned) and particularly calls on traditional, religious and political leaders to use their voice and platforms to influence and speak out.

  • All in all, a good advocacy document.  Download it here and please share further as relevant.

10+ Her Period Her Pride: A Campaign by Peter Mndalasini

February 22, 2021NewsBy Youth Wave1 Comment

It has been a month since I started implementing a project called “10+ Her Period Her Pride” as a Women Deliver young leader for the class of 2020. About 40 girls in Lilongwe district have been trained on how to make reusable sanitary pads.

 Although the project is intended to reach about 300 girls, but what about the rest of the girls who will not be able to access the training workshops due to the limited financial resources at my disposal? The project’s proposed ripple effect works by enabling the trainees under this project to train many other girls within  their communities.

But again, what about the other girls who are also struggling to access menstrual hygiene products (sanitary pads) in other districts across Malawi?

This is why the project is advocating for improved access to sanitary pads among primary and secondary school girls.

 No girl should miss classes due to lack of sanitary pads.

 As a young leader, I have done my part and I am calling upon the Government of Malawi to allocate adequate resources towards menstrual hygiene in primary and secondary schools. For instance, removing tax on sanitary products would go a long way towards achieving this goal.

Girls should not fail to enjoy their rights to equality, health and education due to menstruation.

I feel that there is need for some innovative thinking in striving to achieve this. For instance, the Ministry of Education should include the making of sanitary pads within the school curricula.

Education is the most powerful tool which we can use to improve access to sanitary pads among school girls, thereby contributing to ending period poverty in Malawi.
