📍 Vishrantwadi, Pune
🗓 25/01/2025 – First Distribution Drive of 2025 ✨
Last week, the Inspiring Pink Foundation visited a construction site near Vishrantwadi, Pune, to spread awareness about menstrual hygiene among female workers.
As we engaged with them in their quarters, we educated around 55 women on the importance of menstrual hygiene, the correct use of sanitary napkins, and proper disposal methods.
As our discussion progressed, the women became more comfortable and started sharing their concerns. During these conversations, our team discovered the women didn’t follow the right disposal practices and had many other problems, which the team was able to educate them on.
Further research led us to a 2024 United Nations study, which revealed that at least 1 in 10 women and girls in rural areas across 12 countries lacked a private place to wash and change during their last period.This pushed us to think further about how we can contribute as we gear up for our upcoming drives.
Beyond education, we also spent quality time with the children at the site—distributing stationery kits, playing games, and creating moments of joy. 💖
