Featured: Advocacy Brief for Menstrual Health (2026)
The result of a collective effort led by a consortium of 6 civil society organizations (ApiAfrique, AMFE, Consortium Jeunesse Sénégal, Kitambaa, Yeewi Association, and Weerwi), this brief puts forward urgent recommendations to shatter taboos and integrate menstrual health into Senegalese public policy.
In Senegal, 45% of schoolgirls still miss school every month during their periods due to a lack of proper facilities.
