The major objectives of the drives are:

• To increase awareness among adolescent girls on Menstrual Hygiene
• To increase access to and use of high quality sanitary napkins to adolescent girls in rural areas.
• To ensure safe disposal of Sanitary Napkins in an environmentally friendly manner.

We were able to distributes in High School, Slum areas which had approximately 1000 young girls and womens.

In addition to distributing sanitary pads, we used this opportunity to educate young women about their menstruation period and the importance of disposing of their sanitary pads correctly. We held a presentation on menstruation periods in the form of a talk and games – which was fun for the girls and for us! We were surprised to find that some of the young girls did not know about the importance of their menstruation cycle and I am glad that they are now better-informed. Women’s Month reminds us that we should embrace our womanhood and be proud of our bodies.
