What we do
Humanify Foundation has been at the forefront of raising awareness against the stigmatization of menstruation and myths associated with periods. We organize menstrual hygiene awareness camps across India, including Uttarakhand, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh. Our goal is to develop and implement a national menstruation policy, addressing issues such as providing free sanitary products, combating period stigma, initiating educational reforms, and promoting period-friendly infrastructure. Our advocacy efforts have included meetings with union ministers, senior bureaucrats, and government officials to push for better menstrual health policies.
In addition, Humanify Foundation has adopted a village called Bel (Bhikiyasen) in Uttarakhand and established a Youth Empowerment & Skill Training Centre. Here, youth from Bel Village and surrounding areas receive training in various skills, including computer education, arts, music, general knowledge, and English conversation, through both offline and online classes.
We’ve also launched a petition on Change.org advocating for the government to provide free sanitary pads to women living below the poverty line, which garnered the support of over 225,000 people.
Humanify is committed to women empowerment and the upliftment of acid attack survivors, underprivileged women and children, and other marginalized communities. We envision a violence-free society, stress-free minds, and healthy bodies, working to erase divisions of race, nationality, and religion through our work in social welfare and human rights.
