Abstract

To share the experience of an educational activity on menstrual poverty in the school environment. Experience report developed by professionals from the Multiprofessional Residency in Family and Community Health in the municipality of Horizonte - Ceará, in the period of June 2023, targeting children and adolescents aged 11 to 14, enrolled in an elementary school. For the systematization, we used the method developed by Oscar Holliday, the proposal in five stages. The educational activity brought up an important debate on menstrual care, and also served as a basis for the students to be future multipliers of the discussion on menstrual poverty. It was observed that menstrual poverty is still permeated by taboos, a situation that is reflected in the scarcity of databases, public policies and actions aimed at promoting intimate dignity.
