Review of Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) actions with a focus on solid waste

Since January 2017, the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) together with IFRC and partners have been providing assistance to Rohingya people who have fled violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state and sought refuge in Bangladesh. Many of them are women and adolescent girls. Aiming to provide support to 200,000 people, the current Population Movement Operation (PMO) includes health, shelter, WASH, food security, nutrition, livelihoods, psycho-social support (PSS) and protection, gender and inclusion (PGI) activities. Key WASH activities include water supply, hygiene promotion, construction of sanitation and bathing facilities, and faecal sludge management.
