Directrices Interagenciales Para la Gestion de Casos de VBG - 2017
06 May, 2022
El presente documento está redactado rigurosamente en lenguaje no sexista, visibilizando el género femenino y el masculino en todo momento y utilizando genéricos inclusivos en los casos en los que el idioma castellano lo permite. La visibilización verbal del femenino y del masculino se realiza, en la mayoría de los casos, escribiendo ambos artículos, pronombres o sustantivos, y en otros, en menor grado, colocando entre paréntesis la letra “a” al final de sustantivos y adjetivos.

13 Dec, 2022
Millions of women and girls are unable to manage their menstrual cycle in a dignified, healthy way. The onset of menstruation (or periods as they can be known) is a new phase and can bring with it new risks to the lives of adolescent girls. Many girls face stigma, harassment and social exclusion during menstruation. Gender inequality, discrimination, social norms, cultural taboos, poverty and lack of basic services like toilets and sanitary products can all cause menstrual health and hygiene needs to go unmet. When this happens it restricts women and girls’ mobility and personal choices. It affects attendance in school and participation in community life. It also compromises their safety, causing additional stress and anxiety. These challenges are particularly acute in humanitarian crises. Period poverty is the lack of access to menstrual hygiene information, products, and toilets- forcing women and girls to risk their health, and miss out on education and employment opportunities. ...
