#LetsTalkPeriods

Our weekend was full of good smiles and great learnings. We at Project promise - Sewa Roshni were honoured to participate in an initiative by Delhi Police and EWA to educate underprivileged women and children.
200 Women and 50 children of govindpuri area were sensitized and explained the importance of hygiene, especially during menstruation, and the importance of healthy eating during periods.

We also distributed 300 packets of sanitary pads and 200 books of Anu did's monthly visitor which is written by our founder to break the taboo about starting a conversation on menstruation.

We would like to put light on a few points that we all should keep in mind during periods

1) Intake of a healthy diet - including channa, gur, peanuts, and green vegetables
2) Drinking a sufficient amount of water throughout the month 
3) Disposal of sanitary napkins should be done appropriately to avoid the spreading of infections  A small act makes a big impact! 

We all are working towards the best way we can educate and spread awareness among underprivileged women and children about menstruation. Together we will win over this taboo on periods.
