Menstrual hygiene management is a prime aspect of hygiene for women all over the world. Menstrual hygiene day is celebrated every year on 28th May to highlight the importance of menstrual hygiene and to create awareness amongst the people. Unfortunately even today talking about menstruation is considered a taboo in many societies. Consequently adolescent girls and women in many parts of the country are ignorant about menstruation hygiene which has irrefutably given rise to innumerable urinary and vaginal infections. Menstruation hygiene includes using sanitary napkins , tampons or menstrual cups instead of old pieces of clothes which are used by women in the rural areas. Changing pad or tampon time to time is very essential. Used pads should be disposed safely and we need to keep in mind to wash our hands after disposing pads or tampons and keep the vaginal area clean. Since many women in the rural areas are not well aware of menstrual hygiene hence NGOs organize campaigns to spread awareness and impart knowledge in this field. Vijay Social Welfare Society is one such NGO .It has donated around 5000 sanitary napkins and conducted awareness campaigns to 20 schools and 15 Aanganwadies in association with SG foundation and herbalife to educate girls on menstruation and it’s hygiene. Sessions were conducted on not only hygiene but also on adolescent changes which includes physical, emotional and psychological changes and nutrition ie importance of balanced diet.
Sessions were conducted by experts of these fields.
Initiative should also be taken by the government for making sanitary napkins available to every woman so that no girl has to drop out of school and all the women can lead a comfortable life .

Day 10#Vivekanand H.S.School VSWS in association with SG foundation startedThe Sankalp Project which aims to help young girls by providing more knowledge about menstruation and personal hygiene. Women from rural areas use a piece of cloth and this leads to many infections. These infections increase and create complicated problems. It can even lead to infertility. Therefore, it is important to remind girls about the problems menstruation can create and how they can tackle it. We have visited 10 schools from 24th December, 2020 and have provided them with free sanitary napkins. We also conduct classes about menstruation and personal hygiene and how they should look after themselves. It is always great to interact with young girls and help them with their queries. After the session we play some games and snacks are also provided#Herbalife
