Menstruation Hygiene Awareness Campaign by Vijay Social Welfare Society
Menstruation remains a taboo subject in many societies, leading to a lack of awareness and poor hygiene practices among adolescent girls and women. This ignorance often results in urinary and vaginal infections due to the use of unsanitary materials and improper disposal methods. Effective menstruation hygiene involves using sanitary napkins, tampons, or menstrual cups, regularly changing these products, and maintaining proper hand hygiene and cleanliness.
Vijay Social Welfare Society (VSWS), in collaboration with SG Foundation and Herbalife, has undertaken significant initiatives to address these issues:
- Distribution: 5,000 sanitary napkins have been donated to women in need.
- Awareness Campaigns: Conducted in 20 schools and 15 Aanganwadis to educate girls on menstrual hygiene, adolescent changes, and the importance of a balanced diet.
Schools Reached:
- Govt. Higher Secondary School Manglia
- Govt. Higher Secondary School Kanadia
- Vivekanand Higher Secondary School
- Bal Vinay Higher Secondary School
- Nandanagar Higher Secondary School
- Merit Higher Secondary School
- Nehru Nagar Government School

Key Campaign Activities:
- Educational Sessions: Conducted by experts on menstruation hygiene, adolescent changes (physical, emotional, and psychological), and nutrition.
- Training for Women: Provided on personal hygiene and educating their daughters about menstruation.
Call to Action: We urge the government to ensure the availability of sanitary napkins for every woman to prevent school dropouts and promote comfort and health.

Day 10#Vivekanand H.S.School VSWS in association with SG foundation startedThe Sankalp Project which aims to help young girls by providing more knowledge about menstruation and personal hygiene. Women from rural areas use a piece of cloth and this leads to many infections. These infections increase and create complicated problems. It can even lead to infertility. Therefore, it is important to remind girls about the problems menstruation can create and how they can tackle it. We have visited 10 schools from 24th December, 2020 and have provided them with free sanitary napkins. We also conduct classes about menstruation and personal hygiene and how they should look after themselves. It is always great to interact with young girls and help them with their queries. After the session we play some games and snacks are also provided#Herbalife
