Or she can be a girl who is prepared for this moment and feels a giddy excitement and intrigue when it comes. She can be delighted to be joining the sisterhood of older sisters, cousins, aunts and mothers who had already told her this day would come.In both cases, the people around her shape her beliefs and expectations of this moment. She could just be shown where the pads are and told to keep her period as a shameful secret. Or she could be celebrated, recognised and supported by her family.
On this Menstrual Hygiene Day, let us agree that concealing menstruation serves no one – neither the girls and women who bleed nor the boys and men who care for them.To improve access to menstrual health resources and abolish period poverty, we must remember a key point: Policies are made by people. They are made by women who were once girls who were shamed or celebrated and men who were once boys either obliviously unaware or consciously educated about the monthly reality of their female peers.By reviving Prophetic examples of showing tenderness to menstruating girls and women, sharing gifts at menarche and acknowledging menstruation as a divinely designed and life-giving process, we have an opportunity to heal the culture that shapes society and the individuals who form families. We can and must take action towards ending period shame and ensuring menstrual equity for all.

Central to Angel’s gold-for-dirty money operations is Henrietta Rushwaya, president of the Zimbabwe Miners Association. Rushwaya, who is also President Mnangagwa’s niece, told Angel and the reporters on a phone call that smuggling 100kg of gold each week would be no problem.The scheme would need an initial investment of $10mn of dirty cash into the government’s gold refinery, Fidelity. Of that, $5mn would be held in reserve by Fidelity for the duration of the scam, with the rest being used every week to buy gold.
Once the gold is bought, another $5mn would be brought in to buy more gold until all the money had been laundered into the precious metal — which would then be sold internationally for legitimate, clean cash.Do you have information on money laundering or want to share another tip?
