Organization information
International Association for Human Values (UK)
Location: East Sussex, United Kingdom
Summary
Poor menstrual health and hygiene is affecting girls and women in rural communities across India. There is limited access to safe sanitary care products or menstrual education. Social taboos, myths and misconceptions are still strong and not allowing for a conversation about periods. Project Pavitra is taking menstrual education to rural India and urban slums through inspired women volunteers. We are running Menstrual Education Program to bring rural Indian girls out of the shame around periods.
