The 6th Annual Virtual Conference on Menstrual Hygiene Management in Schools was co-hosted by Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health and UNICEF on 17 October 2017. The conference enables the global sharing of new ideas and 'lessons learned', and connects people online who are working on MHM in Schools in a wide range of countries. Participants from around the world come together for a day to network, share their work on advancing the agenda of MHM in schools, and to identify potential future collaborations beyond their usual organisational or geographical boundaries.
