The Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) leader McHenry Venaani has sought clarity from the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare regarding the sanitary pads for learners.

He said many girls are missing school due to this issue, calling on the ministry to find a permanent solution.

Learners at Mpukano Primary School in Kabbe South, Zambezi Region, risk their lives daily by canoeing across flood-prone waters of the Ikaba floodplains to attend classes. Many from Grade 0 to 4 miss school out of fear, leaving parents deeply worried about potential tragedies.
