The Last Taboo: Menstrual Hygiene Challenges in the Pacific

Funded under the Australian aid program’s Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development initiative, the ‘The Last Taboo’ is the first multi-country study of menstrual hygiene in the Pacific. Research and workshops took place in Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands in 2016 and 2017. The workshops brought together people working on gender, health, education and water, sanitation and hygiene to turn the research findings into program approaches.
