Menstruation should be a normal part of life, but for too many young women in Ghana, it’s a time of fear and uncertainty. Many families simply can’t afford the cost of sanitary pads, forcing girls to miss school during their periods or turn to desperate measures. The tragic result comes in face of Sexual exploitation, unplanned pregnancies, and school dropouts.
