Menstrual Hygiene Day: May 28, 2026
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.
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. All
of this in support of a goal to create a world where no one is held back because they
menstruate.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that I, Amada Mdrquez Simula, Mayor of Columbia
Heights, do hereby proclaim May 28, 2026, to be Menstrual Hygiene Day in the City of
Columbia Heights, County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, U.S.A.
