Breaking the Taboo: PP Savani Vidya Bhavan School students in Surat, Gujarat embrace #PeriodCupCause

The topic of menstruation has long been considered taboo in many parts of the world. In India, it is no exception, with many girls and women feeling embarrassed or ashamed to talk about it openly. To break this taboo and empower girls with sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions, a #PeriodCupCause session was conducted for 100+ girls at PP Savani Vidya Bhavan School in Surat, Gujarat.

During the session, the girls were introduced to menstrual cups and the benefits they offer. Menstrual cups are environmentally friendly, reusable, and cost-effective, making them a great alternative to traditional menstrual products like pads and tampons. The girls were shown how to use menstrual cups and given tips on how to maintain proper menstrual hygiene.

The session was an open and honest discussion that encouraged the girls to ask questions and share their experiences with menstrual hygiene management. The girls were relieved to have a safe space to talk about something that they had previously been taught to keep hidden.

The response to the #PeriodCupCause session was overwhelmingly positive, with many of the girls expressing their desire to use menstrual cups as a sustainable and cost-effective option for menstrual hygiene. By breaking the taboo around menstruation and providing girls with sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions, we can empower them to take control of their health and well-being.

This #PeriodCupCause session at PP Savani Vidya Bhavan School in Surat, Gujarat is just one step in the journey towards normalizing menstruation and creating a world where every girl has access to safe and sustainable menstrual hygiene solutions.
