Menstrual Hygiene Campaign at Government Home Science college

Date: 10 December, 2019

Government Home Science college conducted menstrual hygiene campaign for  students in collaboration with Unicharm’s feminine hygiene brand Sofy.  The objective of the campaign was to create awareness about menstrual hygiene by breaking myths and discrediting shame related to menstruation among girls students. Sofy distributed its  environment-friendly and anti-bacterial  premium quality sanitary pads free of cost to approximately 100 students in both B.Sc and M.Sc hostel. Girls were sensitized  to consider the menstrual phase as a blessing and  follow proper standards/methods of hygiene. Principal Professor Sudha Katyal emphasized on promoting such compaigns as they not only help the girls to manage their periods in a hygienic manner but also dispel myths and taboos related to this issue.
