Health
Access & Awareness
The Challenge
In many parts of rural India, menstruation remains a taboo subject, leading to significant challenges in accessing proper menstrual hygiene management (MHM). This lack of access and awareness not only affects the health and dignity of women and girls but also impedes their educational and economic participation.
The Solution
The Desai Foundation’s Menstrual Hygiene Management Awareness Camp is a comprehensive program aimed at transforming menstrual health management in rural communities. The initiative focuses on providing accessible menstrual hygiene products and conducting extensive educational outreach. The program’s dual approach of distribution and education empowers women and girls with the knowledge and resources necessary for managing menstruation hygienically and with dignity.
The Lasting Impact
The MHM program is pivotal in normalizing menstruation and dismantling the stigma surrounding it. By improving menstrual health management, the initiative not only enhances the health and well-being of women and girls but also empowers them to participate fully in all aspects of life. The program’s impact contributes to the creation of healthier, more equitable communities.
