The Menstrual She-bang Fashion show will be returning for the second year. This year’s edition is slated to happen on May 28th at Latitude 0 Hotel in Makindye again with focus on Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights which will be represented in a fashion show.
It will be organised by The Wellbeing Foundation in partnership with Wuzi Africa.
The show will have seven different fashion designers who will donate outfits that will be inspired by the Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) story.
The event will look at unlocking the limitless potential of young people from marginalized and less privileged communities and backgrounds by creating platforms for untold stories.
With the Wellbeing centre/Menstruation station located in Kisenyi, The Well-being Foundation operates in different parts of the country through partners giving young people from side-lined backgrounds and communities a voice of expression, a choice of life, and an opportunity to succeed in a world system that has previously left them behind.
According to Shyka Lwanyaaga, the Founder of The Wellbeing Foundation, their goal is not to change who these young people are but to realign their psychological framework around their struggle and change their self-pity and perception of rough life into it being actually the biggest resource they have as it hands them more wisdom of survival in their young age more than most gain in their entire life.
“This is the second edition of what we think is an amazing tool for us to come together and communicate issues of importance as we have fun and get creative with problem-solving.
Fashion is a great communication and behavioral change tool, so we are coming together with the designer to use the amazing craft of fashion is, to create a platform for stories that are untold,” she said.
Last year’s Menstrual She-bang Fashion show took place at MoTiV located along old Port bell road in Kampala.
