Sometimes, change begins simply by choosing to speak.

At Dhaulagiri village, Tehri, during our WASH project workshop, Anurag Chauhan, Founder and Chairperson of Humans for Humanity, started the conversation on menstruation, openly addressing periods, taboos and the silence that surrounds them.

In many communities, this is still not a space men step into. And you could sense that pause in the beginning.

But it did not last long.

What followed was a quiet shift. The hesitation gave way to curiosity, then comfort. Women who had initially held back began engaging more freely, asking questions, sharing thoughts, and participating without that initial restraint.

There was something powerful in that moment, not just in what was said, but in who chose to say it.

Because normalising these conversations is not just about educating women, it is about making it everyone’s conversation.

The workshop then carried forward into deeper discussions and the distribution drive, but what stayed was that shift, subtle, but significant.

Sometimes, breaking a taboo does not need a grand gesture.
Just someone willing to start the conversation.

Humans for Humanity conducted a menstrual hygiene awareness workshop in Dhaulagiri village, Tehri, under our WASH project, an effort that goes beyond a single session and looks at long-term change in how health, hygiene and dignity are understood.

The focus was not just on information, but on building comfort around a subject that is often avoided. Conversations around menstrual health, hygiene, safe usage and waste disposal were opened up in a way that felt practical and relevant to everyday life. When these conversations happen openly, they begin to shift habits, not just opinions.

A key part of the work is engaging mothers and community health workers. When they are part of the discussion, awareness does not remain limited to a room, it moves into homes, families and daily practices. That is where real impact lies.

What stood out was the willingness to show up. Children who walk kilometres to school, and women who walked just as far to attend, choosing to be part of the conversation. It is a reminder that access is not always the barrier, sometimes it is the lack of opportunity, and that is what this work is trying to address.

This was followed by a distribution of sanitary kits, heat patches and undergarments, ensuring that awareness is supported with access, because one without the other rarely leads to change.

The session was led by Smriti Batta, Meera Naveli and Lubna Khanam, with strong support from the teachers who made it possible.

This is not just about one workshop. It is about building understanding, changing behaviour, and creating a shift that sustains itself.

Humans for Humanity, through its WASH project, created a space for dialogue in Dhaulagiri village, Tehri, and Meera Naveli brought to it the courage to question.

Speaking about the taboos surrounding menstruation, she addressed what is often left unsaid. Not forcefully, but honestly, in a way that encouraged reflection rather than resistance.

In communities where silence has been the norm, these conversations are not easy, but they are necessary.

Because change does not begin with information alone. It begins with unlearning.

Humans for Humanity, through its WASH project, ensured that awareness translated into action in Dhaulagiri village, Tehri, with Lubna Khanam bringing in the much-needed practical perspective.

Focusing on safe usage, waste disposal, and the role of Bluheat patches, she kept the conversation clear, direct, and rooted in everyday realities.

In spaces where access and understanding do not always go hand in hand, this kind of clarity makes all the difference.

Because knowing is one thing. Knowing what to do with it is everything.

Humans for Humanity, through its WASH project, brought an important conversation to Dhaulagiri village, Tehri, and Smriti Batta held the room with both knowledge and empathy.

Speaking on menstrual health and hygiene, she made the complex feel simple and the uncomfortable feel approachable. No jargon, no distance, just clarity that people could truly take back with them.

In a space where many had walked kilometres just to be present, her words did not just inform, they stayed.

Because awareness is not just about information. It is about how thoughtfully it is shared.

Humans for Humanity conducted a workshop in Dhaulagiri village, Tehri, as part of our WASH project, where menstrual hygiene awareness forms an integral part of the larger conversation around water, sanitation, and health.

The place carries a rare kind of silence. Not empty, but full in its own way. It slows you down, makes you observe, and quietly stays with you. It was a beautiful experience.

We were told the children walk kilometres every day to get to this government school. And then we met the women who came for the workshop, they had walked just as far, without complaint or announcement, simply because they chose to be there. It gently redefines what we often call effort.

What stood out even more was the importance of engaging mothers. They are often the first point of understanding, the first point of hesitation, and eventually, the first point of change. When a mother is informed, the conversation does not end with her, it travels through the household. It was equally encouraging to have ASHA workers join us, strengthening the link between awareness, healthcare systems, and the community at large.

The session brought together meaningful voices. Smriti Batta spoke about menstrual health and hygiene with clarity, Meera Naveli addressed the taboos that continue to shape the conversation, and Lubna Khanam explained safe usage, waste disposal, and the role of Bluheat patches in a practical, accessible manner.

What followed ensured that awareness did not remain theoretical. A distribution drive of sanitary kits, heat patches, and undergarments translated the conversation into access.

At the heart of it all were the teachers, steady, committed, and deeply supportive, ensuring participation, enabling the process, and holding the purpose together.

We often associate impact with scale and visibility. But sometimes, it is found in quiet determination, in long walks, and in simply showing up.
