Breaking Taboos, Empowering Students: TISS College Leads the Way with #PeriodCupCause Awareness Sessions in Guwahati
Menstrual health is an important aspect of women’s health, yet it often remains a taboo topic. To break the stigma surrounding menstruation and provide sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions, three #PeriodCupCause awareness sessions were conducted at TISS College in Guwahati.
What made these sessions unique was that they were open to both boys and girls, allowing them to learn and understand the importance of menstrual health together. The sessions were conducted for different batches of students on different days, making sure that every student has an opportunity to learn about menstrual hygiene and sustainable menstrual products.
During the sessions, students were shown how to use menstrual cups and given tips on how to maintain proper menstrual hygiene. The open discussion and Q&A session allowed students to ask questions and share their experiences, which helped to break down the stigma surrounding menstruation.
The students appreciated the gesture and expressed their gratitude for being provided information on sustainable and cost-effective menstrual hygiene solution.
The three #PeriodCupCause awareness sessions were a great success and served as an opportunity to empower both boys and girls with knowledge and understanding of menstrual hygiene. The sessions not only provided the students with menstrual cups but also encouraged them to break the taboo surrounding menstruation and to become advocates for menstrual hygiene.
By creating awareness and providing sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions, we can empower both boys and girls to take control of their health and well-being. The #PeriodCupCause awareness sessions for TISS College students in Guwahati are just one step in the journey towards normalizing menstruation and creating a world where every woman has access to safe and sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions.
