Project Coपल- The Hushed Voices Of Menstruation

Welcome back to another episode of Where The Chasm Is Bridged! Today we will be starting a new theme, one that has been silenced in the name of propriety and impurity. Following the work of Behind The Scenes and Kamakhya, I bring to you the interview of two incredible women who started these NGOs as a way to help create employment and raise awareness about the lack of menstrual hygiene. Kamakhya is an NGO that aims to eradicate period poverty in the country and promotes the use of cloth pads as against plastic pads, to reduce the amount of waste generated and for wider access. Many girls and women in India are ashamed and even hate their periods for what society has stigmatized it to be. By helping rural women get access to safe menstrual products and teaching them how to stitch cloth pads for themselves, as well as for the purpose of selling, Project Coपल aims to eradicate period poverty and create employment for underprivileged women. Order your own cloth pads to promote many such rural women and help reduce the overwhelming amount of waste in India! Link to Daraz: https://www.daraz.com.np/shop/behind-the-scenes/
