Government Girls Inter College, Kathgodam, Haldwani, Uttarakhand
The session primarily focused on enhancing the girls' understanding of menstrual health. Many participants were learning about the biological aspects of menstruation for the first time. The workshop included a comprehensive explanation of the menstrual cycle, with particular attention to the anatomy of the female reproductive system. For many attendees, this was their first exposure to such information, including a detailed look at the uterus diagram.
Additionally, the session addressed practical aspects of menstrual hygiene management. Discussions included methods for managing menstrual pain and the importance of using menstrual hygiene products. The interactive format allowed the girls to ask questions and share their concerns, fostering a supportive and open environment. The session aimed to empower the girls with knowledge about their bodies, helping to dispel myths and reduce the stigma surrounding menstruation.
A free sanitary pad distribution camp was conducted to address economic barriers and cultural reluctance regarding menstrual needs. Providing these resources not only emphasized the importance of access to menstrual hygiene products as a fundamental right but also encouraged the girls to take control of their menstrual health without shame or fear. This initiative aimed to alleviate period poverty and promote a healthier and more dignified approach to managing menstruation.
The session was a crucial step toward improving community health and promoting women's empowerment. By educating young girls on menstrual health and providing them with necessary resources, the event created a foundation for health education and awareness, which is vital for achieving gender equality and empowering young women to take control of their health and well-being. To further engage the community and amplify the impact of such initiatives, there is a need for continuous support and involvement. Volunteers and donors are encouraged to join future events, contribute resources, or share their expertise to expand the reach of these programs. Your support can help break the cycle of silence and stigma around menstruation, ensuring every girl has access to the knowledge and tools she needs for a healthy future.
This initiative by Upasana highlights the importance of health advocacy and women’s rights activism in addressing menstrual health issues, breaking down barriers, and promoting a culture of support and awareness in the community. With more community involvement, these programs can continue to grow and impact more lives, creating lasting social change.
