Men and Boys Are Crucial Partners
Every man and boy is connected to someone who menstruates: a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, coworker, or classmate. Men and boys are crucial partners in efforts to shatter the stigma and limitations associated with menstruation and often influence decision making. The DFG Men Who Know (MWK) curriculum equips men and boys to support menstruators.
Topics Covered Include
Healthy you, healthy us, healthy communities
Strong choices: a discussion on power, strength, and respect/support for menstruators
Hygiene and Handwashing
Puberty
Female and Male Reproductive Systems
Reproduction
The Menstrual Cycle
Prevention of sexually transmitted infections
Human trafficking avoidance
