CARICOM Youth Ambassador Chrysean Jarvis and his team donated menstrual hygiene and personal care supplies to members of Course #50 of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda on May 28 as part of activities marking Menstrual Hygiene Day.

The donation included toiletries, sanitizers, disinfectants and feminine hygiene products, with a focus on supporting the well-being of the cohort, particularly its female recruits.

The initiative sought to raise awareness about menstrual hygiene management and encourage open discussions aimed at reducing the stigma often associated with menstruation.

During the visit, Jarvis and his team also held discussions with recruits on youth engagement, partnership-building and issues affecting young people across society.

The effort was supported by several youth leaders and community partners, including the National Youth Ambassador Corps under the Department of Youth Affairs and Ibrahim Construction Ltd.

The Royal Police Force thanked Jarvis and the supporting organizations for their contribution and commitment to youth empowerment and health awareness.
