The Wikipedia article on menstrual hygiene management documents the history of commercial sanitary products (Kotex in 1920, Tampax patented in 1931) but these concern products, not the origin of MHM as a named global public health and development practice.

What would resolve this A source dating when menstrual hygiene management was first named and adopted as a distinct global public health and development practice, such as an early WASH sector report, would resolve this.
