This paper draws attention to the relationship between menstrual hygiene and school drop–out rates for girls from the higher forms of primary (grade 4 & 5) and secondary education. Several Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) will not be achieved if several state and non–state actors do not undertake immediate action.
