The association for the promotion of women's activities, Tiiiit! Inc., in collaboration with the initiative PERIOD. Skopje, is organizing the conference titled "Breaking Taboos: Menstrual Justice for All!" The event will take place on Wednesday, May 31st, at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Skopje, starting at 10:00 a.m. The conference is expected to conclude by 4:30 p.m.
Since the publication of our research in 2021, we have observed progress within various competent institutions. We believe that this conference will provide a platform for discussing existing challenges and identifying ways to overcome them, aiming to achieve tangible results in the eradication of menstrual poverty and advancing menstrual justice. Additionally, the conference serves as a commemoration of International Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28th.
The conference will include participation from representatives of civil associations, members of the parliament of the Republic of North Macedonia, and other state institutions. Its primary objective is to encourage policy changes that promote systemic solutions and the implementation of effective mechanisms and measures related to menstruation, with the goal of enhancing sexual and reproductive health. These efforts align with the guidelines of the World Health Organization and recommendations from the UN Committee for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
We cordially invite you to participate in the conference and kindly request that you confirm your attendance no later than Monday, May 29th by completing this form.
