March, 2018
In March 2018, the Pinkishe Foundation achieved a significant milestone with the official launch of Padbank, one of its most pivotal programs dedicated to promoting menstrual health and hygiene across India. This transformative initiative marked a major step forward in Pinkishe's mission to break taboos and empower women and girls through education and access to menstrual products.
Padbank emerged as a cornerstone of Pinkishe's efforts to educate and empower girls and women about menstrual health and hygiene. Through comprehensive training sessions conducted by menstrual educators, Padbank aimed to dispel myths, provide accurate information, and empower individuals to manage their menstrual health with confidence and dignity.
The impact of Padbank extended far and wide, with training sessions conducted in 27 states (including rural and urban areas) across India. Pinkishe's dedicated volunteers, hailing from different cities and states, played a crucial role in providing and facilitating these sessions, ensuring that Pinkishe's message reached every corner of the country.
Volunteers from diverse backgrounds came together to support Padbank's mission, serving as ambassadors of change in their respective communities. By organizing and conducting Padbank sessions, these volunteers contributed to creating a culture of openness and acceptance surrounding menstruation, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable society.
In addition to education, Project Padbank also focused on practical support by distributing free sanitary pads to participants. By promoting hygiene and addressing the issue of menstrual product accessibility, Padbank empowered women and girls to manage their periods safely and hygienically, thereby promoting their overall health and well-being.
The official launch of Padbank in March 2018 represented a significant milestone in Pinkishe Foundation's journey, reflecting its unwavering commitment to promoting menstrual health and hygiene. As Padbank continues to educate, empower, and uplift communities across India, its impact serves as a testament to the power of education and collective action in effecting positive change.
