This report, "Outcomes From the Education Indaba on Menstrual Health and Sanitary Dignity," summarizes the key discussions and multi-sectoral commitments from the Indaba convened by the Department of Basic Education on May 30, 2025. Bringing together government, civil society, and development partners, the event aimed to strengthen South Africa's response to menstrual health and align national efforts towards universal access in schools by 2035. The document clarifies the proposed roles and responsibilities across ten government portfolios and sets a roadmap for moving from policy to coordinated action, ensuring all girls and young women can manage their menstruation with dignity and participate fully in society.
