Dear partners,

MH Day 2021 is approaching fast and we’re very excited to share all of the new MH Day 2021 campaign materials with you. We hope you like them!

Although the pandemic continues to impact every day life, we won’t let that stop us from spreading our message to demand action and investment to end period poverty and stigma as well as provide menstruation education across the globe. We’re ready now more than ever to take social media by storm and make the MH Day 2021 online campaign bigger and better than ever!

This year we’ve teamed up with 6 amazing artists to bring you the most powerful and diverse set of campaign materials ever. As always, the materials will be available in multiple languages, but there are also blank versions where you can include your own messaging in whatever language you prefer. There is also an exciting set of new animated GIFs for Instagram and Twitter, which you can find on these platforms as well as GIPHY by searching for “mhday”.

The English versions of the MH Day 2021 campaign materials are ready now, so just click on the button below to get them! Materials in other languages will be available on May 13th.

28 elements, 5 of which are red. The Menstruation Bracelet is our simple yet powerful symbol for menstruation and our secret weapon to engage different audiences in the campaign, from your organisation’s staff and leadership to decision makers and influencers. 

To make it as easy as possible to participate, we’re providing you with a whole range of bracelet options, including digital bracelets and a template for cut out paper bracelets. If you have a thing for handicrafts, then let your creative juices flow and make your own individual bracelet from any type of material.

If you don’t want to post a selfie, you can also just post a picture of your hand or use one of the bracelet illustrations!

This year we will be creating another global campaign video showcasing the diversity, determination, and power of our movement! ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏻 

We still have plenty of open spots for our second video recording on May 12, 2021 at 19:00 CEST and we are looking to find more participants from North, South, and Central America as they are currently underrepresented due to the time difference. So if that's you, then please join us! Also, please be sure to have a functional laptop and reliable internet connection.

The registration deadline is May 11th at 19:00 CEST, so be sure to register asap!

We’re also very excited to announce that WASH United and MH Day will be hosting the free online screening of Pandora’s box, which is sponsored by The Case for Her. After the film, there will also be a panel discussion with key experts.

The screening room opens on:

May 18, 2021 at 16:00 CEST (10:00 EST)

and the panel discussion starts on:

May 18, 2021 at 17:00 CEST (11:00 EST)

We can only host 500 participants on the platform, so if you would like to join us, then simply click on the button below and be sure to share it with your friends and colleagues. After registration, you will receive a link to the screening platform and the Zoom link for the subsequent panel discussion with key experts. 

If you can’t make it to the screening, then don’t worry about missing out! The registration link lets you watch and access the film for up to 24 hours afterwards (until May 19th 16:00 CEST).
