Your body speaks. Listen to it!
Pay attention to changes in your breasts, including lumps, skin changes, nipple discharge or unusual swelling.
If something feels off, don’t ignore it. Seek medical advice and get checked.
Early detection matters.

What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer happens when cells in the breast grow and multiply uncontrollably.
The cancer can spread to other parts of the body if it is not detected and treated early.

Dear Parents,
Start the conversations early.
Talk to your daughters openly about puberty, menstruation, menstrual hygiene, boundaries, relationships and teenage pregnancy.
Some girls begin puberty and menstruation as early as 10 years.

Menstrual health education gives girls the knowledge and confidence to understand their bodies, make informed reproductive health decisions and demand the dignity they deserve.
Knowledge is power. Menstrual health is a right.

Accessible period care matters.
Blind and visually impaired women and girls deserve accessible menstrual health information, products and facilities that support their dignity, privacy and independence.

Periods should never be another barrier to dignity.
Yet too many persons with disabilities face stigma, exclusion and silence every month.
It's time to see them, hear them and include them.

Understanding this phase helps you recognise your fertile period, understand your body's signals, and make informed choices about your health.
