IOH Foundation Youth Menstruation Awareness Survey

Welcome!

This survey is part of IOH Foundation’s upcoming youth awareness program. Our first session will focus on menstruation — a natural process that is often surrounded by silence, stigma, and misinformation.

The purpose of this survey is to understand the current level of knowledge youth have about menstruation, identify myths, challenges, and questions that need to be addressed, and ensure our session is designed in a way that is relevant, practical, and supportive for everyone.

Your responses are valuable and will help us design engaging and informative sessions. We appreciate your honest and thoughtful answers!
