Sanitary Napkin Distribution
8th October 2018
NSS Unit of Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurugram distributed “Sanitary Napkins” in the nearby locality. 18 NSS Volunteers along with 2 faculty members went to nearby village to spread awareness about the menstrual hygiene and distribute Sanitary Napkins.
NSS Coordinator Dr. Anupam Dalal shared her views on such problems that women face during the menstruation cycle and talked about how to maintain one’s health and hygiene during such times. She also said, Sanitary Napkins are an essential menstrual hygiene product for women and girls, and their distribution is crucial for promoting menstrual health and hygiene. Many Women and Girls do not have access to affordable sanitary napkins, which can lead to serious health and social problems.
Information on the proper use and disposal of sanitary napkins, as well as addressing any cultural taboos or stigmas surrounding menstruation was also imparted.
The motive of spreading the awareness was to improve the health and well-being of the women and girls and to promote gender equity was attained.
