Effective
menstrual hygiene is vital to the health, wellbeing, dignity, empowerment and
mobility of women and girls. Poor menstrual hygiene may cause stigma, ill
health and can lead to school absenteeism and increased school dropout rates. Keeping the
same in mind an interactive workshop on menstrual health and hygiene was
conducted on July 23, 2019 by Ms Harsimran associated with Persocraft which is
a voluntary initiative and aims to work for the overall
grooming of the students at school and college level. Changes that occur in
girls at puberty, myths associated with menstruation, common problems like
pain, headache, backache, etc. and ways to deal with them were discussed in
detail. They were told about proper and safe disposal of sanitary pads as good
menstrual hygiene is crucial for girls and women. It was followed by a question
answer session where the queries of girls were taken up.Video clippings were
shown to provide greater awareness on good menstrual hygiene practices.
