Millennium Fellowship Project: Menstruation Matters
The Menstruation Matters Advocacy Project aims to improve menstrual hygiene among girls and young women in diverse urban and rural communities. The project focuses on two key initiatives: advocating for the removal of taxes on sanitary pads to enhance affordability and dispelling myths surrounding menstruation. Through targeted educational programs, community outreach, and collaboration with schools and colleges, the project seeks to bring about positive change by increasing awareness, accessibility, and acceptance of menstrual health.
