About

Inadequate information causes stigma, unfriendly behavior, teasing, and misconceptions about menstruation, among other things. Since 2018, UNICEF Indonesia - with support from KAO Corporation (through UNICEF Japan) - has been empowering adolescent girls & boys with knowledge about menstrual hygiene management (MHM). Working with adolescent girls, boys, parents, teachers and religious leaders, UNICEF developed a MHM storybook as a creative way to educate boys & girls about menstrual hygiene and puberty.

The book is only available in Indonesian language
