MHHM Nigeria
Summit 2025
Empowering Lives, Breaking Barriers and Building Dignity.
About the Summit
The Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management (MHHM) Nigeria Summit 2025 is a national gathering of policymakers, healthcare professionals, advocates, development partners, young people, and changemakers committed to advancing menstrual equity in Nigeria.
This is more than a summit—it’s a movement to break taboos, influence policy, and drive meaningful change. We are creating a future where no one is held back because of menstruation.
Join us as we spotlight critical research, showcase success stories, and push for policy solutions that ensure access, dignity, and equity in menstrual health.
About the Summit
Millions of women and girls in Nigeria continue to face barriers—economic, cultural, and
systemic—that limit their ability to manage their menstruation safely and with dignity.
The MHHM Summit is designed to:
Raise awareness
about menstrual health and hygiene management challenges in Nigeria.
Influence policy
by facilitating government engagement and cross-sector
dialogue.
Showcase innovation and best practices
from grassroots organizations,
researchers, and businesses.
Amplify voices
of adolescent girls, persons with disabilities, rural communities,
and others often left out of the conversation.
