Effective menstrual hygiene is vital to the health, well-being, dignity, empowerment, mobility and productivity of women and girls. Poor menstrual hygiene may cause stigma, ill health and can lead to school absenteeism and increased school drop out rates.

Keeping the same in mind an interactive workshop on menstrual health and hygiene was conducted for girls of classes VI to VIII on 20 Apr' 24 by P&G health care Pvt. Ltd. in the school activity room.

Changes that occur in girls at puberty, myths associated with menstruation, common problems like pain, headache, backache, etc and ways to deal with them. Video clippings were shown to provide greater awareness on good menstrual hygiene practices. By acknowledging that menstruation is a normal and healthy part of life, they confront the stigma attached to it with collective awareness, advocacy, education and action.
