With an aim to spread awareness about the importance of menstrual hygiene, our team decided to visit Kapalsadi village in Jhagadia block of Bharuch district. During the visit we found out that most of the women there barely had any information around menstrual issues. They use cloth but maintenance of hygiene is usually overlooked. Also, our team observed that there were no bathrooms in the village and women had to bathe and change in the open.
Our team initiated conversations with the community regarding these issues and suggested ideas to deal with them. Following this, the locals, under Gram Vikas Trust decided to create awareness amongh the community, specifically for the adolescent and women.
Gram Vikas Trust, Bharuch idea creating awareness about Mensurrual hygine making a changing will benefit. This is more than enough. I believe that their thought process and our ability to work hard will create a new kind of unity and partnership.
This further impacts their health and well-being. Thus, making the women here aware of the issue was just a little step, but a major leap towards better menstrual hygiene.
