Menstrual Hygiene Day brings together the voices and actions of organizations and individuals to promote good menstrual health and hygiene for all women and girls.
Join BCL and Lily Williams for an afternoon of education and support celebrating Menstrual Hygiene Day (5.28) online via Web Ex.
We will begin the afternoon with an online visit (presented on our big screen) with Lily Williams, author, illustrator, and storyteller who seeks to inspire change through education. Using her graphic novel Go With the Flow as a backdrop, Lily will lead us in a deep dive discussion about the themes of this book including, friendship, puberty, menstrual equity and activism.
