Sawantwadi Police Station – #PeriodCupCause

We had the privilege to conduct an awareness session on sustainable periods for the staff of Sawantwadi Police Station in Konkan, Sindhudurg, Maharashtra. It was heartening to see the enthusiastic participation of the police staff, who shared their experiences of managing periods while on duty.

The session was very interactive, and we discussed the challenges faced by the staff in managing their periods while wearing the uniform and working for long hours. We also addressed the taboo surrounding menstruation and the need to break free from it.

To support the staff, we donated 15 menstrual cups, which they can use for a sustainable and comfortable period experience. It was a fulfilling experience for me, and I hope that more people and organizations can come forward to support sustainable menstruation for all.
