On a mission to spread menstrual literacy
Date - 23rd November 2022
Time - 6 pm

The Indian judicial system's role in promoting adolescent girls' right to education and awareness of menstrual hygiene Because of misconceptions and taboos, menstruation has historically been a subject that India has ignored, leading to a lack of awareness. In India, a large number of girls between the ages of 10 and 18 drop out of school because they lack access to menstrual hygiene services. Poor financial circumstances, a lack of resources, and the stigma attached to menstruation females as dirty have all played a significant role in this situation. Many girls have been denied access to their fundamental rights to education and even to life because of menstrual difficulties. This leads to the rising illiteracy rate in our nation as well as the maltreatment of girls, among other things. The majority of issues with menstrual health and access to resources are experienced by women in rural and underdeveloped sections of the nation.

Hence, today we’ll be having a talk on how we can be on this mission of spreading menstrual literacy and how we can inculcate this in our teachings!
