Millennium Fellowship Project: Swasthya: Menstrual Health Education and GSM Empowerment
Swasthya is a social impact initiative addressing two pressing issues: Menstrual Health Education and the creation of safe spaces for Gender and Sexual Minorities (GSM), including the LGBTQIA+ community. Many communities lack accurate menstrual health information, and social stigma often hinders open discussions. Additionally, GSM individuals need more safe platforms to connect and share experiences, especially those who are closeted. Swasthya’s mission is to bridge these gaps through targeted educational outreach and inclusive support networks. By distributing accessible menstrual health information and facilitating safe space sessions for GSM individuals, Swasthya aims to promote both health literacy and social inclusion, driving positive change in our community.
