Menstruation (also called a “period”) is a normal biological process experienced by millions around the world each month. Yet, many adolescent girls face stigma and social exclusion during menstruation. Many of these girls & women are unable to manage their menstrual cycle in a dignified, healthy way.
Garima Project is an initiative of Mahavir International with the aim of better menstrual health for women and girls. Our slogan:
“झिझक छोड़ो चुप्पी तोड़ो खुलकर बोलो” (Leave the hesitation, break the silence and speak openly).
Vibrant Vira Kendra organizes awareness programs to remove misconceptions related to menstruation through talk shows. In these awareness programs, Women & girls receive the knowledge from health experts about menstruation management. They receive guidance about their health without experiencing stress or shame. Providing sanitary pads and menstrual Cups is part of our relief assistance.
In the past years, we create awareness through workshops organised in many areas of Jaipur in which around 10000+ women were benefitted and 4000+ free sanitary pads were distributed. These programs aim to highlight good menstrual hygiene practices during period and to raise awareness about the importance of menstrual products, period education, and sanitation facilities.
• we have worked with various Government Girls schools in Jaipur, slum areas and underprivileged areas, where talk shows were conducted by health experts under this dedicated campaign.
