 NARRATIVE

Menstrual Video Viewing about Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) was

participated by the Grade V and Grade VI pupils last September 29, 2022 at 1:00 o'clock in the
afternoon.

It was a Comic Strip toolkit for MHM. The Comic strip is a visual tool designed to
motivate children to help girls when they experience accidents. There are two Comic Strips in
the video, the 1st strip shows a scenario where a girl has stained her dress and her friends
notice. They mock her and laugh at her then she started crying and run away. The Strip 2 shows
a scenario where a girl has stained her dress and her friends notice it. They told her about the
stain in a polite way and escorted her to the teacher.

After the video viewing, a short discussion had been done to the pupils about the
Menstrual Hygiene Management.
