Young women have spoken about the issues faced by a lack of education in schools on health matters.
Athika Ahmed is among those in Wales involved in designing new school resources to improve understanding of common conditions among women.
Leaflets and posters will be available in secondary schools covering menstrual health, endometriosis, pelvic health and menopause.
