Our Impact
SukritiAwareness and Environmental Impact
In many schools in the interior villages, students were initially shy to speak about menstruation in public and considered it a social stigma.
Through sharing information related to menstrual cycle management or menstrual hygiene practice, girls are informed about your genital infections. Apart from that, the high levels of period stigma from male students, including teasing or bullying, can significantly prevent them from continuing at school because they paint women or girls who menstruate as unclean and impure. Not only can this cause girls to drop out of school, but this type of stigma also can have a negative emotional impact. When women and girls don’t live in an environment where they can talk freely about their problems, it becomes a matter of gender inequality. In some rural areas, it was noticed that women and girls
dispose of it in the field around their houses, which can cause significant environmental impacts. Sukriti workers work with the teachers to educate everyone in the school without any shyness and create creative awareness regarding Menstruation and Menstrual Waste Management.
