statement of the problem

Girls are more likely than boys to miss class in South Sudan’s secondary schools. According to a 2018 United Nations estimate, over 73 percent of school-age girls in South Sudan had irregular attendance, placing the country’s education statistics among the most concerning globally.

Girls face numerous challenges related to menstruation, including inadequate access to menstrual hygiene products and a lack of appropriate school WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) facilities for maintaining personal hygiene. These facilities are often insufficient for washing clothing or menstrual items, changing materials in private, and disposing of menstrual hygiene products. UNICEF highlighted these difficulties in 2013.

The high rate of absenteeism among secondary school girls led the researcher to conduct a study investigating the influence of school hygiene on girls’ school attendance in Munuki Payam, Juba County.
