Menstruation Hygiene Awareness Campaign - 22 December 2020

Discrimination against menstruating women is widespread in India. Periods are still taboo and considered to be impure. To eradicate some common misconceptions surrounding menstruation and to educate women about personal hygiene, Ashwin Malik Meshram Foundation & Janta Raja Samajik Sanstha came together for a Menstruation Hygiene Awareness Campaign in Chunabhatti. Our volunteers spoke about healthy menstrual habits and encouraged the women to use sanitary napkins instead of other unsafe options. Towards the end, a 3-month supply of sanitary napkins was also provided to the attendees.
