Evidence-Based Approaches to SRH Education and Menstrual Health: From Data to Action

Join Ooloi Labs for a deep dive into how qualitative data drives meaningful change in menstrual health and sexual and reproductive health (SRH). This webinar brings together experts with decades of experience in public health, policy advocacy, and community-driven programs to explore the power of community voices in shaping interventions that truly work.

Key Takeaways:

  • Data Beyond Numbers: Qualitative insights reveal the real barriers people face, complementing statistical metrics.

  • Community Voices Matter: Programs are most effective when they amplify lived experiences instead of just delivering solutions.

  • Evidence for Action: Data should be accessible and actionable for policymakers, NGOs, and local communities.

  • Shifting Mindsets: Long-term, systemic approaches are essential for sustainable impact.

  • Ethical Data Use: Protecting confidentiality and avoiding extractive research practices is critical.

Detailed Insights:

  • Qualitative data complements quantitative metrics to inform interventions and policy advocacy.

  • Stories from communities highlight barriers like social stigma, lack of decision-making power, and discomfort in adopting menstrual products.

  • Making data usable for multiple stakeholders—including governments, schools, and adolescents—ensures it drives real-world change.

  • Ethical use of sensitive data is paramount, avoiding extractive practices and prioritizing community benefit.

  • Long-term systemic change, multi-sectoral collaboration, and technology-enabled solutions enhance the impact of qualitative insights.

This webinar reinforces that qualitative data is not just a supplement; it is essential for designing impactful menstrual health and SRH programs. It offers a call to action for inclusive advocacy, ethical data practices, and deeper community engagement to drive systemic change.
