Menstruation and Body Awareness. Linking Girls Health With Girls Education

This paper examines the relationships between adolescent girls’ health and well-being with a particular emphasis on the intersection between post-pubescent girls’ menstrual management and education. The paper focuses on developing country contexts, such as sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, where physical, socio-cultural, and economic challenges may render girls’ menstrual management in school particularly difficult.
