In a bid to empower 5,000 girls with menstrual hygiene education and essential resources, Senator Sharafadeen Alli (APC-Oyo South) is sponsoring the second season of the 'Flow with Dignity School Tour.'
This is contained in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media, Akeem Abas and made available to newsmen on Saturday in Ibadan.
The 'Flow with Dignity School Tour' is an
initiative by the Women for Greater Good Foundation in celebration of the 2024 International Day of the Girl Child.
The expanded program focuses on crucial areas such as menstrual hygiene and sex education, providing young girls with the tools to navigate adolescence with confidence and dignity.
Senator Alli’s sponsorship reflected his strong commitment to the well-being and development of young girls in the district, reinforcing his dedication to improving the quality of life and future prospects for the youth.
Through his support, the lawmaker is fostering a more inclusive and empowering environment for girls to ensure they are equipped for a brighter future.
A key highlight of this year’s tour will be the distribution of menstrual materials and educational handbooks.
These resources aim to support girls' health and educational success, reducing the barriers that often prevent them from attending school during their menstrual cycles.
Meanwhile, the impactful initiative builds upon the success of last year's event, which reached 800 girls across Oyo South Senatorial District.
