Why we advance Menstruation health and wellness
The period positivity promoted by us goes beyond health and hygiene. It gives people the power to end the stigma associated with menstruation. We seek to normalize this natural bodily function through transparent discussion, guidance, and access to resources.
Spriha Society asserts that a menstruators' period is crucial to health. However, attitudes, practices, and institutional prejudices frequently prohibit menstruators from receiving essential menstrual health care, particularly in underdeveloped countries. We focus on menstrual awareness programs in order to boost awareness and have an impact. Menstrual hygiene continues to be one of the hardest development problems.
The main reasons for this taboo's continuance in Indian society are the high percentage of illiteracy, particularly among girls, poverty, lack of awareness about menstrual health issues, and inadequate cleanliness. We seek to alter this by visiting different schools, interacting with students about the physical and emotional repercussions of menstruation, and ultimately spreading awareness of menstrual health and hygiene. According to the most current study, sanitary pads are the primary method of protection for 58% of young Indian women (ages 15 to 24). It is our responsibility to bring the best possible changes by promoting period positivity amongst menstruators and non-menstruators.
