Happy International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2025!

Today, May 28th, we unite “Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld,” celebrating the incredible women and girls in our lives and worldwide. Menstruation is not a taboo, but a natural, vital sign of health and life’s beautiful continuity. Let’s honour this normal bodily function and the strength it signifies. We stand proud of womanhood, embracing every aspect that makes us uniquely powerful. Let’s champion environments where every woman manages her menstruation with dignity and pride.

The significance of menstruation is profound, a monthly reminder of the body’s amazing capability and rhythm. It’s a cycle intrinsically linked to well-being, fertility, and the miracle of life itself. Understanding and respecting menstruation empowers individuals with knowledge about their bodies. We celebrate this fundamental aspect of female health and vitality today. Let’s foster open conversations, dismantling myths and building a supportive global community.

Ensuring proper menstrual hygiene is a fundamental right, crucial for health, dignity, and opportunity. Access to clean water, safe sanitary products, and private facilities empowers women and girls. Good hygiene practices prevent infections and allow full participation in daily life. This Menstrual Hygiene Day, let’s advocate for resources and education for all. Let’s break barriers and ensure no one is held back by her period.

We celebrate every woman, in all her strength, resilience, and grace. Your body’s cycles are a testament to the power you hold within. Embrace your period as a natural part of your incredible journey. Society thrives when its women are healthy, educated, and empowered. Today, we honour your contributions and your inherent worth.

Let this International Menstrual Hygiene Day be a call to action for sustained efforts. We must continue to educate, advocate, and innovate for menstrual equity. Together, we can create a world where menstruation is managed safely, hygienically, and without shame. Let’s build a #PeriodFriendlyWorld where every girl and woman can flourish. Join us in celebrating women and championing menstrual hygiene for all!

Today, June 8th, is World Oceans Day, and we’re taking a moment to truly appreciate the wonder that sustains us! Look at this incredible image – it beautifully captures the magic above and below the waves.

Why is the ocean so crucial to our existence?

We literally breathe because of it! The ocean produces more than half of the oxygen in our atmosphere.

It keeps our planet livable! It helps regulate the climate, absorbing heat and CO2.

It feeds us! Billions of people depend on the ocean for food and income.

It’s bursting with life! An assortment of creatures call the ocean home, keeping our ecosystems healthy.

It’s a source of wonder and inspiration! From stunning coral reefs to majestic whales, the ocean fills us with awe.

This year’s theme, “Awaken New Depths,” is a powerful call to action! It reminds us to deepen our connection with the ocean, to learn more about its mysteries, and to recognize its critical importance. It’s about exploring new solutions, fostering innovation, and bringing everyone to the table to ensure the ocean thrives.

At AWEC, we recognize that women are often at the forefront of community efforts to protect natural resources, including our oceans. Empowering women empowers ocean conservation!

Let’s make a splash for ocean ! What’s one thing you can do today to protect our precious oceans? Maybe it’s reducing your plastic footprint, choosing sustainable seafood, or spreading awareness!

Tell us in the comments! What does the ocean mean to you?

Today June 14,2025. AWEC in partnership with Hadassah foundation commemorated World Blood Donor Day with a comprehensive program that included a mental health talk, a gender-based violence talk, and a blood donation talk, all aimed at raising awareness and promoting overall well-being.

A medical practitioner also delivered a health talk, providing valuable insights and information. Additionally, attendees had access to one-on-one counseling sessions with a psychologist, where they could discuss their concerns and receive personalized guidance.

As part of the program, we took participants’ vitals, including blood pressure, weight, and other essential health metrics, and provided individualized medical counseling.

The event was interactive, with attendees asking questions and receiving answers, and it concluded with a sense of accomplishment and newfound knowledge.

Donate blood and save lives.

On September 21, commemorated as the International Day of Peace, under the theme: “Act Now for a Peaceful World.”

Peace starts with you and me. Every kind word, every act of compassion, every moment of understanding makes a difference.

Let’s stand together, spread love, and build a brighter, more peaceful future—one action at a time.

Rural women are vital leaders in their communities, playing a key role in tackling global challenges such as poverty, hunger and the climate crisis.

On Wednesday’s International Day of Rural Women — and every day — we can all:

Recognize their work as food providers and protectors of the environment.

Call for their participation in community decision-making.

Advocate for rural areas where women have the same opportunities as men.

Join #AWEC in calling for bold action to advance the equality, rights and empowerment of women and girls living in rural settings.
