Dignified Menstruation

What is Dignified Menstruation?

Dignified Menstruation (DM) is an innovative and holistic life-cycle approach to addressing all forms of menstrual discrimination. It was coined and officially defined by the Global South Coalition for Dignified Menstruation/Radha Paudel Foundation (GSCDM/RPF) in 2019 and has been in use since.

A state free from all forms of menstrual discrimination, including taboos, stigma, shame, abuse, restrictions, violence, and deprivation from resources and services associated with menstruation throughout the life cycle of menstruators in all diversity is one that practices DM (GSCDM, 2019).
