尽管女童教育在过去十年中取得了显著进展，但基于性别的差异继续影响着教育成果。在这些差异中，最被忽视的一个是成熟过程本身，包括月经。本文介绍了一项研究的结果，该研究评估了卫生保健对青春期后女孩上学的影响，以及月经初潮对她们幸福的影响。研究发现，在旨在改善女童教育成果的战略中，提供适当的卫生保健是一种相对不被承认但可能卓有成效的工具，值得发展规划者在政策上加以考虑。版权所有(C)2013 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
Despite notable progress in girls' education over the last decade, gender-based differences continue to shape educational outcomes. One of the most overlooked of these differences is the process of maturation itself, including menstruation. This paper presents the findings of a study that assessed the impact of sanitary care on the school attendance of post-pubertal girls, as well as the implications of menarche for their well-being. The study found that the provision of adequate sanitary care represents a relatively unrecognized but potentially fruitful tool in strategies that aim to improve girls' educational outcomes, one that warrants policy consideration among development planners.
