Empowering Frontline Health Workers: Breaking Menstrual Taboos through Training and Sustainability
The Women with Wings project, supported by Uttar Pradesh Development Systems Corporation Ltd. (UPDESCO), is dedicated to breaking the silence around menstrual health and hygiene by challenging deep-rooted taboos and misinformation. As part of this initiative, a comprehensive one-day training was conducted at UCHC N.K. Road for ASHAs and ANMs to enhance their understanding of menstrual health, proper hygiene practices, and the sustainable benefits of menstrual cups.
This training empowered frontline health workers with accurate knowledge and tools, enabling them to become change agents in promoting informed, stigma-free, and eco-friendly menstrual health practices within their communities.
