1.INTRODUCTION
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization
(WHO) define Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) as the articulation, awareness,
information and confidence to manage menstruation with safety and dignity using safe
hygienic materials, together with adequate water, agents and spaces for washing and
bathing and disposal with privacy and dignity.
Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is crucial in ensuring appropriate menstrual
hygiene management among girls. It is, thus, important to improve WASH services in
Schools to ensure that menstruation will not get in the way of education. In the
Philippines, the Department of Education (DepEd) issued the National WinS Policy
(DepEd Order 10, Series 2016). DepEd conducts annual monitoring to track progress of
schools implementing the WinS policy. The baseline monitoring was conducted in
School Year (SY) 2017/18, with about 30 000 schools participating. The second round of
WinS monitoring was conducted in SY 2018/19, with about 35,000 schools participating.
The latest round of monitoring was conducted in School Year 2019/2020, with a total of
39,814 participating schools or approximately 88% of public schools in the country. This
report shows the MHM-related data within the WinS monitoring and presents the
impressive improvements which schools all over the country have achieved within the
last years. Soap, toothbrush, toothpaste sanitary pads are provided by the school through
DepEd funds complemented by external partners.
In line with this, San Roque Elementary School implemented Menstrual Hygiene
Management program, orientation, and awareness among the students, teaching, and
nonteaching personnel. The Raims of the school's MHM scheme are, first, to increase the
awareness among adolescent girls on Menstrual Hygiene. Second, increase access and
use of high-quality sanitary napkins to girls in rural areas and lastly, to ensure safe
disposal of sanitary napkins in an environmentally friendly manner.
