World Healing Society Foundation Marks 4th Annual ‘Girls and Grace’ Campaign on Menstrual Hygiene Day
On the occasion of International Menstrual Hygiene Day and the International Day of Action for Women’s Health, the World Healing Society Foundation successfully organised its 4th Annual Girls and Grace Campaign in Makarpura, Vadodara, focusing on menstrual hygiene awareness, women’s health, and nutrition.
The campaign reached girls and women between the ages of 12 and 55 years, spreading awareness about menstrual hygiene, the cultural taboos associated with menstruation, and the importance of proper nutrition for women’s overall well-being.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Arpita Chatterjee, Founder of the NGO, said,
“Even today, menstruation is surrounded by numerous stigmas and superstitions. Menstruation is a completely natural physiological process and should not be linked with any negative beliefs or social discrimination. Through continuous awareness campaigns, we aim to break these misconceptions and promote dignity, education, and health for women.”
She further added that the organisation has been actively conducting such awareness drives across various parts of Gujarat, especially in tribal and rural regions including Chhota Udepur, Panchmahal district, Bardoli, rural areas of Vadodara, and urban slum communities.
Saurabh Suman, Managing Director of the Foundation, highlighted the importance of addressing women’s health issues at the grassroots level.
“Today, we distributed more than 200 sanitary pad kits along with homoeopathic iron tablets to help combat anaemia among women, which continues to be a major health concern in India. A healthy nation can only be built when women’s health and dignity are prioritised,” he said.
The initiative received appreciation from local residents and participants for promoting awareness, encouraging open conversations around menstrual health, and supporting women with essential healthcare resources.
