Tikambirane za Nsambo
It is disheartening to witness the silence surrounding menstruation in Malawian society, resulting in countless girls suffering in silence due to the prevailing myths.
What is even more distressing is the sight of young girls dropping out of school due to a natural occurrence.
At Timveni, we have taken a stand and decided to challenge this taboo by introducing a Tikambirane za Nsambo that openly discusses menstrual hygiene, aiming to promote awareness in our country.
This influential program airs every Friday from 2 to 3 pm, with a repeat on Sundays at 5 pm on radio, and a simulcast on TV at 6:30 pm on Tuesdays. This program has played a significant role in bringing about change.
As a result of its effectiveness, the government has even removed the tax on sanitary pads, ensuring easy access for young girls. This, ladies and gentlemen, marks a significant victory!
