Menstrual Hygiene Management is a subject of ‘Silence’ and discussion of the topic among women or even between mother and daughter is very limited. Menstruation is a very important natural body process among women which cannot be avoided. It is a distinct step into womanhood for the adolescent girls. Therefore it is imperative for every one of them to have awareness about menstrual hygiene.
Centre for Women and Gender Studies had organised an Awareness programme on Women’s Health & Hygiene for all the first year girl students of the college on July 20 and 21, 2017.
Prof. Seema Prabhu S., Director of CWGS oriented the students on good menstrual hygienic practices such as use of sanitary napkins; washing and cleaning; how to dispose sanitary napkins, followed by precautions to be taken during the period and dietary habits, so, as to enable them to lead a healthy reproductive life in future. The question & answer session is followed by effective videos on biological process that a woman’s body undergoes during menstruation.
Prof. Smitha M. and Prof. Dhanya Shet co ordinated the programme.
The real Woman Empowerment should start from here. Empowerment of the Women, by the Women and for the Women!!
