Awareness Meetings on Health, Nutrition and Menstrual Hygiene

By Tasneem Sara | Project Leader

Awareness Meetings on Health, Nutrition and Menstrual Hygiene:

In order to spread awareness for improving their nutritional and health status, AWAG conducted meetings for adolescent girls in the age group of 11-18 years. These meetings covered adolescent girls from the areas of Bapunagar in Ahmedabad. The participants were provided with information on health, family welfare and menstrual hygiene. 

The content of these meetings focused on ......

  • Introduction about AWAG
  • Anatomy of female reproductive organs
  • Changes during puberty and adolescence
  • Process of menstruation
  • Care and Problems related to menstruation
  • To strictly use pills to regulate menstruation only under medical supervision
  • Hygienic practices to adopt so as to prevent the occurrence of reproductive ailments  
  • Overcoming superstitious beliefs that adversely affect their health and wellbeing
  • Benefits of using sanitary napkins 

Through tutorials on menstruation (http://www.awagindia.org/creating-impact/health-awareness/) coupled with dialogue & discussion, a large number of myths and problems of adolescent girls regarding menstrual health and hygiene were demystified by the facilitating team of AWAG.

At the end of the meetings, the participants stated that they were happy to have gained some new knowledge.

THANK YOU!
