Unpaid household and care work shouldn’t be assigned to just one gender. Let’s make a shared responsibility of everyone.

For so many young girls, their first period is met with confusion, fear, and silence. But it doesn't have to be.

Help break the taboo around periods with open conversations. Turn young girls’ anxiety into comfort and understanding. And make sure no girl has to face her first period feeling alone or afraid.

Let’s normalise the period talk. Together, we can make a for all the menstruating people.

One in five girls (20%) in India drop out of school due to lack of menstrual education and access to sanitary products.

This lack of awareness about menstruation and social taboos, limit girls’ and women’s lives. Restrictions like cooking, visiting places of worship, taking part in social activities and sleeping in isolated areas continue to persist.

These practices reinforce women and girls’ subordination and dependency, as they are forced to internalise shame, conceal their bodies, and limit their own agency in public spaces, often leading to reduced access to education and increased vulnerability to gender-based violence.

This , speak up about the existing inequities when it comes to periods and access to menstrual hygiene for all. By replacing stigma with education. And treating periods as just another bodily function that affects half the population.

पितृसत्ता और जेंडर आधारित सोच को बदलने के लिए सबसे ज़रूरी है एक मजबूत साथ और बराबरी की सोच।

आज 2026 में भी महिलाएँ और लड़कियाँ घर के कामों का असमान बोझ उठाती हैं। इससे उनके अवसर सीमित होते हैं और वे अक्सर घर तक ही सीमित रह जाती हैं। इस स्थिति को बदलने के लिए पुरुषों और लड़कों (वे लोग जो काम न करने के लिए अयोग्य या अनजान होने का बहाना करते हों) को आगे आना होगा और घर के कामों में बराबरी से हिस्सा लेना होगा। तभी सभी जेंडर के लोगों को अपनी पसंद का करियर चुनने, अपनी क्षमता विकसित करने और आत्मनिर्भर बनने की आज़ादी मिल सकेगी।

सीधी सी बात — अगर आप घर में रहते हैं, तो घर के काम भी आपकी जिम्मेदारी हैं!

Their hard work, dedication, and resilience have brought this proud moment — and this is only the beginning. Four of our Azad Kishoris have chosen commerce as their stream in high school and another four have taken up Science as their choice of further study.

Kishoris, keep believing in your dreams, aim higher, and never underestimate the power of your education. The future belongs to educated, confident, and fearless young women — and we can’t wait to see all that you achieve.

Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep shining. ❤️
