Renaee Healthcare's Menstrual Awareness Program

We are trying to break taboos and empower women through education, counseling, and training on menstrual health and hygiene

We, Renaee and the dedicated students of Genises from Kathmandu University embarked on a mission to bring awareness about menstrual hygiene to schools in Banepa, Panchkhal, and Panauti. With passion and determination, we aimed to educate children about the menstrual process and promote sanitary pads' safe usage and disposal.

Understanding the importance of addressing this topic, our team recognized that education about menstruation is crucial for both girls and boys. By imparting knowledge about the menstrual cycle, we sought to break the stigma and create an environment of empathy and understanding.

The emotional impact of educating children about the menstrual process cannot be overstated. It is about empowering young minds with the right information to promote a healthy and inclusive society. We foster empathy, respect, and acceptance by teaching children about menstruation.

Educating children about menstruation allows us to create a generation that understands and supports the needs of menstruating individuals. It helps girls embrace their bodies without shame or stigma and encourages boys to become allies in this journey. This knowledge creates a safe space for open conversations and breaks down the barriers that surround menstruation.

Through the Menstrual Hygiene Awareness program, we aimed to shape a future where menstruation is not met with confusion or embarrassment but with knowledge and acceptance. Every child deserves to be equipped with important information about their bodies and the bodies of their peers.

How did the Menstrual Hygiene Awareness program impact the children's perception of menstruation?

The Menstrual Hygiene Awareness program changed how children viewed menstruation by dispelling myths and providing accurate information. Kids learned that menstruation is normal and not something to be ashamed of. The program created a safe space for open dialogue, empowerment, and support. Children developed empathy and understanding, breaking down social barriers. It transformed children's perception from shame to knowledge, acceptance, and support, paving the way for an inclusive and informed society.
