What is the scope for addressing menstrual hygiene management in complex humanitarian emergencies? A global review

Abstract

Global attention on improving the integration of menstrual hygiene management (MHM) into humanitarian response is growing. However, there continues to be a lack of consensus on how best to approach MHM inclusion within response activities. This global review assessed the landscape of MHM practice, policy, and research within the field of humanitarian response. This included an analysis of the limited existing documentation and research on MHM in emergencies and global key informant interviews This research was supported by the Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) Programme
