On the occasion of Menstrual Hygiene Day, our Kishori Club members from Manipal University stepped out with purpose and compassion.
They reached out to women working at construction sites and as domestic staff, women who often don’t get access to menstrual health education, and had heartfelt conversations about menstruation and the importance of hygiene.
Just real talk, woman to woman. Because awareness begins where silence ends.
