About the Campaign

Every year, millions of women and young girls continue to grow up with limited awareness and understanding of their own health and bodies due to stigma, misinformation, and lack of access to menstrual education. At Akhar Seva, we believe that awareness is the first step towards dignity, confidence, and empowerment.

Through our Menstrual Health & Hygiene Awareness campaign, we worked towards creating informed and open conversations around menstrual health. As part of the initiative, our team set up an awareness stall dedicated to educating girls and community members about menstruation, menstrual hygiene practices, and the importance of understanding and caring for their health.

The campaign focused on making menstrual education accessible and approachable through interactive discussions and awareness sessions. Alongside education and conversation, menstrual hygiene products were also distributed to ensure that support extended beyond awareness and reached practical needs as well.

For many participants, this became an opportunity to ask questions openly, challenge common misconceptions, and feel more confident discussing a topic that is too often surrounded by silence.

More than an awareness drive, this initiative was an effort to reinforce a simple but important message—that access to menstrual health education and essential hygiene resources should never be a privilege, but a basic right.
