Millennium Fellowship Project: Period Protection Project
The Project Period Protection focusing on Tea Community’s young womens. First I started this project in my village from where I belong. There are many tea gardens in Bangladesh which I need to cover and my project will be ongoing. The main goal of this project is to bring awareness about the menstrual period among female tea workers. Most of the women tea workers are illiterate therefore, the first thing done by this project is to know them in detail about the menstrual period. There were two informative sessions with around 150 women tea workers. The session was in detail where they could learn about hygiene during the menstrual period. They understand that they have to maintain proper hygination to be healthy.
