Co-designing safe spaces for menstrual health management in humanitarian settings

A safe, dignified, and healthy way to manage menstrual health should be a basic right for all individuals who menstruate. However, these necessities are often not afforded to people in low- and middle-income countries and their lack is frequently exacerbated in humanitarian settings. In this blog post, the authors of a new paper in BMC Women’s Health discuss their findings regarding how they applied human-centered design principles to co-design, build, and evaluate a community-driven solution of safe spaces for menstrual health management among a displaced population.
