Menstrual health of girls and young women

This report examines the menstrual health of girls and young women, highlighting persistent barriers to timely diagnosis, treatment, and support for menstrual health conditions. The inquiry finds that stigma surrounding menstruation, inadequate menstrual health education, limited professional training, long waiting times for gynaecological care, and the frequent dismissal of young women’s symptoms contribute to poor health outcomes and significant impacts on education, wellbeing, and quality of life.
