Regional Impact of Sanitary Towel Accessibility in Eastern Uganda
In eastern Uganda research has revealed significant challenges related to school attendance among adolescent girls. Key findings include:
Severe Absentee Rates: More than 30% of adolescent girls are reported to miss school regularly.
Financial Barriers: The high cost of sanitary towels is a primary factor contributing to these absentee rates.

Addressing the issue of sanitary towel affordability is crucial for improving school attendance and educational outcomes in this region.
