🩸🌸 Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026 | Reaching the Last Mile with Dignity and Care 🌸🩸
On this Menstrual Hygiene Day, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every girl and woman has access to accurate information, safe menstrual hygiene practices, and the dignity they deserve.
Aligned with the spirit of the recent observations by the Supreme Court of India, which highlighted menstrual health as an essential component of dignity, equality, health, and education, it is imperative that we collectively work towards breaking barriers and ending the stigma associated with menstruation.
Under the SBI Sanjeevani – Clinic on Wheels Project, supported by SBI Foundation and implemented by PANKH, focused awareness and health promotion activities on menstrual hygiene were conducted across 60 villages (20 villages each) in Balrampur, Bahraich (Uttar Pradesh), and Udham Singh Nagar (Uttarakhand).
Through community outreach sessions, adolescent health discussions, and awareness campaigns, the initiative aimed to:
✅ Promote safe menstrual hygiene practices among adolescent girls and women
✅ Address myths, misconceptions, and social taboos around menstruation
✅ Enhance awareness regarding reproductive and menstrual health
✅ Encourage the use of hygienic menstrual products and proper disposal practices
✅ Strengthen community dialogue around women's health and dignity
The response from communities has been encouraging, reflecting the growing need for continued awareness and access to menstrual health services in rural and underserved areas.
At PANKH, we believe that no girl should miss education, compromise her health, or face discrimination because of menstruation. Together, we can build communities where menstrual health is understood, respected, and supported.
Menstrual Health is a Right. Dignity is Non-Negotiable.
