Today, millions of women and girls around the world are stigmatised, excluded and discriminated against simply because they menstruate. It’s not acceptable that because of a natural bodily function women and girls continue to be prevented from getting an education, earning an income and fully and equally participating in everyday life.
Due to societal taboo as well as lack of access to sanitary hygiene, many women and girls are forced to use unhygienic products during their menstruation period and suffer from health challenges. The lack of adequate access to water and sanitation, particularly in schools adds to the cultural complexity around menstrual hygiene and its impact on young girls. Successive absences from school due to monthly menstrual cycle/periods, girl children while growing up end up becoming school drop-outs.

The conference will also explore the misuse of religion for political purposes, building resilience and the role of new technologies in the suppression of religious or belief minorities.

In the three decades since the Rio Summit and the launch of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Conference of the Parties to the Convention (COP) has convened member countries every year to determine ambition and responsibilities and identify and assess climate measures. The 21st session of the COP (COP21) led to the Paris Agreement, which mobilized global collective action to hold the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C, and to act to adapt to the already existing effects of climate change.
