Menstrual Health Awareness
Humanify Foundation is an Indian organization that empowers women by encouraging open discussions on taboo subjects such as menstruation. We also provide sanitary pads through donation drives and workshops, giving women a firsthand experience of using menstrual hygiene products.
Even in developed cities, a significant portion of the female population faces discrimination while menstruating. Unfortunately, many are still unaware of basic menstrual hygiene practices. This lack of awareness is alarming, isn’t it?
Well, “Paavni” is one such project aimed at breaking the stigma and leading a menstrual health revolution. Initiated by Humanify Foundation, under the mentorship of our Chairman Niraj Gera, the project conducts regular Menstrual Awareness Camps and Sanitary Pad distribution camps with the support of our selfless volunteers.
‘Paavni’ serves as an eye-opener for both men and women attending the workshops. As the saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words." That’s exactly what happens here. Our team highlights the importance of menstrual health through Niraj Gera's photo series “Sacred Stains”, complemented by interactive sessions where attendees share their personal experiences and challenges. Team Humanify enlightens participants with facts, data, and practical solutions to the issues raised.
During the workshop, it’s explained how essential it is to break the myths surrounding menstruation and escape the vicious cycle of stigma. Our team simplifies the concepts even for the male population, who are encouraged to attend the ‘Paavni’ workshops. Men play a crucial role in providing care and being sensitive toward their female family members. This indifferent attitude needs to be eradicated not just within families but throughout society.
Our Menstrual Health Management (MHM) Special Sessions are regularly organized in schools, colleges, communities, and various other institutions across the nation.
“Paavni” aims to reach as many people as necessary to create widespread Menstrual Health Awareness.
That’s our mission, and we are determined to achieve it.
