In many underprivileged communities, access to proper sanitation facilities and menstrual hygiene products is limited or non-existent. This lack of access poses significant health risks, particularly for women and girls, who often face stigma, shame, and barriers to managing their menstrual hygiene effectively. As a result, many girls miss school during their menstruation, leading to gaps in their education and perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.
Furthermore, cultural taboos and misinformation surrounding menstruation contribute to a lack of awareness and understanding about menstrual health, exacerbating the challenges faced by women and girls in managing their hygiene needs. Addressing these issues requires a holistic approach that combines education, access to resources, and community engagement to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and promote health and dignity for all.
The first dimension of Project Kishori focuses on conducting hygiene awareness workshops in slum areas, targeting women and girls who often bear the brunt of inadequate sanitation facilities and lack of access to menstrual hygiene products. These workshops will serve as safe spaces for open dialogue, education, and empowerment, providing participants with the knowledge and skills to take charge of their health and well-being.
The second dimension of Project Kishori involves the distribution of menstrual hygiene kits and the delivery of awareness sessions at schools, with a focus on reaching adolescent girls who may be experiencing their menstrual cycles for the first time. These sessions will complement existing school-based health education programs, providing additional support and resources to address the specific needs of girls.
