Menstrual Hygiene Management Program

To create awareness about Menstrual hygiene, its importance & impact upon productivity and dignity of women, an awareness program was organised on 28th May, 2023 (World Menstrual Hygiene and Management Day). Program Coordinator of Sadbhawna Samiti described about facts related to menstruation and how improper management reduces work productivity. She also focused that without proper management how these days are tough to spend particularly for adolescent lead to reduce their attendance and later contribute to being drop outs.

Due to cultural and religious reasons, it is still perceived as dirty and impious. Furthermore, lack of awareness and money –starved villagers buying sanitary napkins is additional burden on family. Misinformation, stigma and availability often force women in rural areas to opt for unsafe and unhygienic means. When combined with WASH and MHM awareness campaigns, these initiatives have positive long-lasting impact on health of women
