My First Period
Helping young girls understand menstruation
with confidence, dignity, and accurate health education
Created by EthVida and Sparkle Magazine, My First Period is an educational
book that offers age-appropriate, medically informed guidance on
menstrual health, aiming to break stigma and foster healthier conversations

Every Girl Deserves Access to
Accurate Health Education

health education remains limited. Misinformation, stigma, and silence
often leave girls feeling confused, unsupported, or unprepared for one of

accessible, age-appropriate education that supports understanding,
confidence, and informed decision-making from an early age.
