Menstrual Hygiene Initiatives
Empowering Dignity, Redefining Norms: Together, we break the silence surrounding menstruation and ensure access to menstrual hygiene products for all
At Little Step Welfare Foundation, our Menstrual Hygiene Initiatives are dedicated to addressing the challenges and taboos associated with menstruation while ensuring that individuals have access to menstrual hygiene products and education.
Our Approach:
- Awareness and Education: We conduct educational workshops and awareness campaigns to dispel myths and misconceptions surrounding menstruation, promote menstrual hygiene practices, and empower individuals, especially young girls, with knowledge and confidence.
- Access to Products: We provide menstrual hygiene products, such as sanitary pads and menstrual cups, to individuals who may face financial constraints or limited access to these essential items. By ensuring access to these products, we aim to promote dignity, comfort, and health during menstruation.
- Advocacy and Policy: We advocate for policies and initiatives that prioritize menstrual hygiene management in public health programs, schools, and communities, advocating for the inclusion of menstrual hygiene education and access to products as integral components of reproductive health and gender equality efforts.
Key Features of Our Menstrual Hygiene Initiatives:
- Community Engagement: We engage with community members, leaders, and stakeholders to foster open discussions about menstruation, challenge stigma, and create supportive environments where individuals feel comfortable addressing their menstrual health needs.
- Empowerment Through Education: Our initiatives empower individuals with the knowledge and skills to manage their menstrual health confidently, promoting self-care, hygiene, and reproductive health literacy.
- Sustainable Solutions: We explore sustainable solutions for menstrual hygiene management, including initiatives to promote eco-friendly menstrual products, menstrual hygiene waste management, and community-based manufacturing of sanitary pads.
