Menstrual hygiene is a practice during menstruation that can prevent women from infection in the reproductive and urinary tract. In India, menstruation is surrounded by myths and misconceptions with a long list of “do’s” and “don’ts” for women.

A Menstrual hygiene workshop cum camp was organized in DAV Police public school, Gurugram on 16th February 2023 for girls in collaboration with Sewa international. The objective of this camp was to create awareness about menstruation. It helped in breaking the taboos and end the stigma surrounding menstruation. To raise awareness about access to menstrual products, girls were educated about menstruation and period-friendly sanitation facilities. Free sanitary pads were also distributed among girls to make them understand the importance of having stress free periods.
