Event & Awareness
India has indeed made significant progress in its overall development as a country. However, there are still challenges when it comes to health and hygiene, particularly menstrual hygiene. It is concerning that only 18% of women in India use sanitary napkins, while traditional methods like cloth, sand, hay, and ash are widely used in rural and remote areas, leading to serious health issues.
Lack of knowledge and awareness about menstruation is a major contributing factor, with many young girls having minimal or no knowledge before their first period. Additionally, the high cost of sanitary napkins in rural areas further limits access.
To address these issues, the arogya sakhi Movement aims to drive awareness, education, and access to proper menstrual hygiene products in rural areas. By breaking the taboo around periods and involving both men and women in the conversation, the movement seeks to bring about a gradual revolution in menstrual hygiene practices and contribute to the well-being of women across India.
In collaboration with local NGOs and self-help groups (SHGs), we conduct monthly “Menstrual Awareness Programs” in rural areas and schools. These programs aim to provide accurate knowledge about menstruation and feminine hygiene, offering learning opportunities and promoting women’s social advancement. By using our products, women can live comfortably even during their periods, ultimately having a positive impact on their lives.
We are committed to making the hopes and aspirations of women in India a reality by addressing the challenges surrounding menstrual hygiene and empowering women in both rural and urban areas.
