Menstrual Hygiene Day: May 28, 2025
Menstrual Hygiene Day was established in 2014 as a global day of action on period
poverty and stigma.
Menstrual Hygiene Day is a day where citizens can come together to recognize the
effect of period poverty in our community and the impact of menstrual inequities on
those who experience a period while living in poverty.
The continued support at the local, regional, and national levels is helping break the
silence and build awareness about the fundamental role that good menstrual hygiene
management plays in the lives of people who menstruate.
During this challenging time and every day, let us aim to be conscious of the needs of
others, promote open dialogue to help counter taboos surrounding periods, learn new
and creative ways to manage menstrual health issues, and promote equitable access to
hygiene needs and products.
The Mayor and City of Columbia Heights support organizations and individuals
committed to raising awareness about the needs of the community through education
and support, to ensure the health and well-being of our communities are improved.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Amdda Marquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia
Heights, do hereby proclaim May 28, 2025, to be Menstrual Hygiene Day in the City of
Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, U.S.A.
