Menstruation is a natural and healthy part of life. Approximately half of the female population is of reproductive age, accounting for around 26% of the global population. Every month, most girls have their period for three to seven days. Menstruation, as common as it is, is still stigmatized around the world.

Lack of knowledge about menstruation can lead to harmful beliefs and discrimination. It can also prevent girls from participating in regular childhood activities. Due to stigma, taboos, and myths, young girls are often denied the opportunity to learn about menstruation and develop healthy behaviors.

Girls Only was created to make learning about periods, puberty, and sexual and reproductive health and rights free, fun, easy, and comfortable for young schoolgirls like yourself.

Periods are normal. Every girl gets them at some point in her life, so there is nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.

So always remember… It’s normal, Period!™

With love,
