Description
Menstruation, a natural process experienced by 1.8 billion females globally, occurs about 300 times in a woman's life. Despite signifying normal reproductive function and marking a transition to womanhood, it is surrounded by taboos and misconceptions in many low- and middle-income countries, including Ghana. Cultural practices and adolescent girls' experiences remain poorly documented. This study explored the cultural construction of menstruation in the Ghanaian context.
