Yesterday, we had the privilege of facilitating a Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management (MHHM) workshop for female police personnel and staff members at the Nepal Police Circle, Durbar Marg.
A total of 16 participants attended the session at the Assembly Hall of the Durbar Marg Police Circle, where SAATH conducted a comprehensive 2.5-hour interactive workshop, followed by the distribution of Menstrual Hygiene Kits in collaboration with Danfe Works Enterprises Nepal and Dharma Karma Society. The session was facilitated by Ms. Shubhekshya Joshi, SRHR Defender at SAATH.
The workshop covered a range of important topics, including menstrual health as a human rights issue, legal rights, the menstrual cycle and its phases, menstrual hygiene products, and menstrual health management. Participants actively engaged in discussions, shared their experiences, and contributed valuable insights throughout the session.
One of the most engaging segments was the “Myth vs. Fact” activity, where participants were asked to agree or disagree with common statements related to menstruation. The exercise sparked thoughtful conversations and provided an opportunity to hear diverse perspectives from the officers on issues that are both deeply personal and critically important to women's health and well-being.
We are grateful to Deputy Superintendent of Police Mr. Narayan Dangi for his support and encouragement in making this initiative possible and for welcoming it as part of the team's ongoing efforts toward awareness and well-being.
