The Regional Office Team undertook Monitoring and Follow Up Visits to the Ga North Municipal Assembly in the Region as part of their activities featured in the 2023 Action Plan.
The monitoring visits were carried out from 9th May to 13th June, 2023. The visits enabled the Teams to follow-up on the activities undertaken by the staff of the MMDAs in the office and on the field with the Study Group Members they work with.
The Monitoring Team visited the staff of the Ga North Municipal Assembly to join them do a sensitization exercise with pupils of the Amomoley M/A JHS 1&2 with various menstrual Hygiene materials, the topic was chosen because the National Menstrual Hygiene Day had been celebrated the previous Friday 26th May.
In all, 79 females and 31 males totaling 110 were engaged. The staff discussed what menstruation is, it’s importance to the female reproduction, how well the female child should be assisted in school during that time of the month, the embarrassment the female child goes through when they stain themselves during their menstrual period.
At the end of the sensitization, each pupil was given a pack of soft car sanitary pad.
