We are happy to collaborate with BAALA as a Knowledge Partner for The Missing Indicator: Menstrual Health in SRHR Frameworks.
On 9 June 2026 at IIC, New Delhi, YWCA of India facilitated a learning and solution-building session on Menstrual and Climate Justice & SRHR, led by Pranita Biswasi , National Programmes Manager, YWCA of India, and Ms. Angela Eldon, RiseUp! Master Trainer, Southwest Region.

Menstrual justice cannot be an afterthought. As climate crises, disasters, and migration reshape lives and communities, women and girls continue to face barriers to accessing menstrual health services, information, and dignity.

Together, we explored how menstrual justice can be meaningfully integrated into climate adaptation, disaster preparedness, migration responses, and SRHR policies, while addressing stigma, discrimination, and caste-based barriers.
