JAMMU, Apr 12: LFO-BH Foundation (NGO) today organised a demonstrated awareness on "Menstruation - A Taboo In Society at Ved Mandir, Karan Nagar, Jammu under the initiative of "Mission R-SAP".
The main motive of this project is to create awareness on Menstrual Hygiene and to focus on the taboo related to it. Members of LFO-BHF (NGO) tried to clear the myths related to periods and focused on the facts related to it. So that girls and women would feel free, mentally strong and proud of their menstruation.
Navya (Vice President of Jammu Province, LFO-BHF) delivered an awareness lecture in which she emphasised that "Women would have been the worst hit, as menstrual hygiene is very important to prevent infections. So, it is very important to maintain menstrual hygiene to avoid infections and most important is to spread maximum awareness about the importance of Sanitary Napkins. At any given time, girls across India cannot afford sanitary napkins. Instead they use cloth, other unhygienic materials that increase their risk of contracting infections".
It was donation cum awareness programme on topic "Menstruation Hygiene".
Around 2000 biodegradable sanitary napkins were distributed. This awareness programme was organized to raise the knowledge about menstruation hygiene and myths and facts related to the very topic among young girls. Around 70 girls were targeted in this awareness programme.
Samar (Volunteer of LFO-BHF) while showing concern said that in India, menstrual health is still considered a taboo subject, leaving women exposed to misinformation and myths associated with menstruation and we should do our best in clearing the myths and doubts related to this very topic. Other volunteers present during this donation cum awareness programme were Sahil, Mandeep, Shubam, Stuti and many more. |
