Students’ initiative to promote sustainable menstruation
While menstruation is no longer a taboo subject thanks to various measures that have created awareness, there is still one aspect that has not been addressed, say Atyantika Mookherjee, Manasvi Dholakia and Ishita Desai. The three 16-year-old students of Navy Children School, Kochi, are the co-founders of The Red Lotus, a project that aims to open people’s eyes to the problem of disposal of sanitary napkins.
On May 28, World Menstrual Day, the trio conducted a webinar on the topic in collaboration with Shed Red, a Canadian organisation that addresses menstrual inequality.
