Hello, everyone!

I am Kanako Katayama from Japan, having worked on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) and WASH in Schools (WinS) in rural India for Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)-funded project and in Japan, with education and global health background. I had experiences of hard time with toilet-phobia during whole my school life and the strong interest got me to pursue and work on WinS and MHM.
This is my first proper post and, since SuSanA has been the place I’ve always come to hear voices on WASH news for the past 2.5 years, I would like to start with expressing my gratitude to all - Thank you so much!

Following conversations with Elisabeth, WASH United, and WSSCC on twitter, I am writing today to share my Youtube playlist on MHM. (This does not mean that I own the videos or endorse/promote each of them.) www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfDMPT3SG...0F8nC6neZvcby-FHx7bZ
It contains 50 videos on MHM topics that I have come across in recent years and collected together in this Playlist to make them easily accessible.

Also, as SuSanA Youtube account has got an MHM playlist as well ( www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0gMdVBup...NOz4DvEyqnE2M6mq_Kj6 ), I would like to suggest that we make new playlists grouped by sub-categories together! My suggestions of sub-category are “field report”, “from conference”, “talk (TED Talk etc.)”, “products/commercials”, “art”, “educational animation”, “MH Day”, “project (movie etc.)”
Your help of suggestions of 1) other videos, 2) sub-categories or general comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

~ Kanako
