Resource Distribution

In addition to educational discussions, the event featured the distribution of free feminine hygiene products such as cloth pads and tampons. Many girls come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds where purchasing menstrual products can be a financial strain. This initiative aimed to provide them with safe, eco-friendly, and affordable menstrual products.

Conclusion

This event went beyond just providing information; it empowered young girls with knowledge and resources to manage their menstrual health confidently. Upasana's initiative in combining education with practical support made a significant impact, helping to reduce stigma and promote open discussions about menstruation. The positive feedback from participants underscores the value of such events in fostering a supportive and informed community.
