Her Period Shouldn't End Her Dreams

Can a simple biological process determine a girl's future? For millions of girls around the world, menstruation is more than a monthly experience—it can mean missed school, lost opportunities, stigma, and barriers to achieving their full potential. In this special episode of The Victoria Show, recorded in commemoration of World Menstrual Hygiene Day, we explore the theme: "Her Period Should Not Cost Her Future." Our panel discusses the importance of menstrual health, dignity, education, and collective action to ensure that no girl is left behind because of her period. Together, they examine the myths surrounding menstruation, the challenges girls face, and practical steps families, schools, communities, and policymakers can take to create lasting change. This conversation is for parents, teachers, students, health professionals, advocates, policymakers, and anyone who believes every girl deserves the opportunity to thrive. Watch until the end to hear practical recommendations that can help transform the future of menstrual health and dignity. After watching, we'd love to hear from you.
