| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the current state of menstrual hygiene policies, laws and regulations across selected countries in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Spain with a particular focus on how human rights principles are being applied. It highlights the importance of recognizing menstrual hygiene as a matter of fundamental human rights, intrinsically linked to dignity, equality, education, and full societal participation, which cannot be achieved without adequate access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services. It will provide recommendations for the design and implementation of effective policies related to menstrual hygiene management. |
