" Being a woman in this world, no matter which country you come from puts you at a position since birth where you have to fight for your rights. The project our team has envisioned,"Meraki: For All", is for us to spread awareness about menstrual awareness and sexual health. Empowering women is what encourages me to work for this project. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Meraki: For all
The educated and progressive classes of India still shy away from the mere fact that there is a need to be aware of one’s sexual and reproductive health. This project aims to start a dialogue on a topic that is still considered taboo, even in the most metropolitan areas of India, namely, Sexual and Reproductive Health. The dialogue around this topic is not something new but we hope to bring in a new approach.
Our main focus will be to present a legal perspective on these issues, and raise awareness about the rights and provisions provided to people regarding Menstruation and menstrual leave, Sex education/Consent/Contraceptives.
During the course of this project, we would be focusing on students across different law universities and informal women workers (Housekeeping and maintenance staff) on our campus and familiarizing them with these concepts as well as their rights.
