what we do for menstual hygiene (Project siggu)
We play a crucial role in promoting menstrual hygiene by leveraging their influence to foster awareness, education, and support for women and girls. We start by breaking the silence around menstruation, encouraging open discussions to dismantle taboos and misconceptions. Religious leaders and community heads can include menstrual health education in their teachings, emphasizing the importance of hygiene and the naturalness of menstruation.
SECT can also facilitate access to menstrual products by organizing distribution drives or setting up community funds to support those in need. They can advocate for the installation of proper sanitation facilities in religious and community spaces, ensuring privacy and cleanliness for women during their periods.
SECT can partner with NGOs, health organizations, and educational institutions to host workshops and training sessions on menstrual health management. By incorporating sustainable practices, such as promoting reusable products, they can also address environmental concerns associated with menstrual waste.
