Last week Youth Initiative Pakistan's team at Bahawalpur conducted an activity under project Rung to distribute female menstrual hygiene products to victims of the recent floods, who had taken refuge near the slums of Bahawalpur in South Punjab. Our volunteers also attempted to educate women and children about the importance of menstrual health in order to create awareness and destigmatize this sensitive in a very conservative segment of Pakistan's society.
YIP hopes to create a mechanism to regularly disseminate such essential items that are stigmatized amongst the flood victims to promote social welfare and make Pakistan's society more peaceful and inclusive, while also creating more equality.
