A Student's Question on Exercise During Periods

One of the girls asked a question during the session: “Is it okay to exercise during periods, or should we avoid it?”

Swapna explained that light to moderate exercise can actually help reduce cramps and improve mood during periods, thanks to the release of endorphins. However, she emphasized that every body is different, so girls should listen to their own bodies and not push themselves too hard if they feel discomfort.

Free Sanitary Pad Distribution for Continued Support

After the session, Pinkishe Foundation provided free sanitary pads to all the girls, ensuring they had access to essential menstrual hygiene products. This distribution is part of Pinkishe’s larger mission to make menstrual hygiene products accessible to every girl and help them manage their periods with dignity.

By conducting such educational sessions, Pinkishe Foundation continues to empower young girls with the knowledge and resources to manage their menstrual health confidently and break the stigma surrounding periods.
