Menstrual Health & Hygiene Awareness Initiative at Sathe Nagar

On 26th March 2025, the Debabrata Auro Foundation (DAF), in collaboration with TajSATS, successfully conducted a Menstrual Health & Hygiene Awareness Initiative at Sathe Nagar, Mankhurd. Targeting 50 beneficiaries, the session aimed to educate women on essential topics such as menstruation, menstrual hygiene, self-care, gender equality, and nutritional health. The DAF team led an interactive session, addressing prevalent taboos and myths while emphasizing the importance of hygienic menstrual practices. Women were also educated about Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD), helping them understand common reproductive health concerns. The session promoted inclusivity and encouraged open discussions about menstrual health, fostering awareness and breaking societal stigmas.

Following the awareness session, sanitary napkins were distributed to all the women present, ensuring access to essential hygiene products. The initiative had a profound impact by increasing knowledge, encouraging better menstrual practices, and fostering an informed and accepting society. By breaking stereotypes and creating safe spaces for discussion, the program empowered women with the confidence to manage their health with dignity. This collaboration between DAF and TajSATS serves as a step towards a more informed, inclusive, and progressive community, emphasizing the need for continued education and support in menstrual health and hygiene.
