The session emphasized that menstrual hygiene is not just about cleanliness but also about dignity and health. Khanam encouraged students to normalize discussions around menstruation to help reduce stigma and ensure access to accurate information and safe menstrual products.
One of the key highlights of the program was a discussion on different menstrual products, including sanitary pads, tampons, and menstrual cups, with a special focus on sustainable and eco-friendly options. The speaker also shed light on the challenges faced by women in rural areas, where limited access to sanitary products and lack of education continue to be major issues.
