Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Program

The International Women’s Day celebration by Parul University Ahmedabad was a vibrant and energetic event that took place on 5th and 6th March 2024. The programme aimed to provide practical demonstrations and hands-on training on proper menstrual hygiene management techniques. We visited some of our adapted villages and their schools (Bhavanpura, Nidrad, Godhavi, Manipur and Kaneti.) and conducted the interactive workshops and training sessions to educate participants about menstrual hygiene management, including proper hygiene practices, use of menstrual products and disposal methods to the girls of adolescent and near to puberty age group. Provided access to affordable and sustainable menstrual products such as sanitary pads to ensure that participants have access to safe and hygienic options. Also empowered the girls with knowledge about menstrual health and its connection to overall well-being. We even offered the check-ups and counselling sessions to address any menstrual health concerns related issues. By implementing a combination of these activities and services, a menstrual hygiene awareness program can effectively promote positive menstrual health practices and contribute to improved well-being and dignity for individuals menstruating within the community.
