“I think I lost my ovaries.”
14-year-old Daksha said this after our period session.
She’d seen blood during constipation at 8—and believed that’s why her periods never came.
6 years of silent fear.
This is why @UnipadsIndia exists.
Period education = dignity #PeriodEducation

[Geeta Solanki @GeetaBarad]

“She broke down in tears… it was her first period. No one had told her what it was.”

This isn’t rare. Across India, thousands of girls face their first period in fear and silence.

At @Unipads_India, we’re changing that — with safe spaces, period education & sustainable care.

#JaganFoundation has partnered with Madarsa Board to launch menstrual hygiene awareness camps for students as a pilot in 5 schools in Jaipur. The programme, called “Period Ka Period” will work on period counselling, breaking myths & stereotypes, as well as distributing reusable sanitary pads through support from @unipads_india

The real struggle was never menstruation—it was silence, stigma, and inaccessibility. With CIE’s support, we turned awareness into action.
This isn’t charity. It’s justice. And we’re just getting started.

This award isn't just mine, it's for every girl who walks miles to school & women who craft out cloth pads with dignity! Thanks to #IndiaSustainabilityConclave2025 for recognizing our mission to make menstruation a sign of strength, not shame #MenstrualEquity

Access to education shouldn’t depend on access to hygiene. Through #SchoolMiles, we’re closing that gap one kit, one conversation, one mile at a time. working on the ground to ensure no girl’s future is paused by her period. Because when she stays in school, she changes the world

[Unipads @unipads_india]

Today, on National Girl Child Day, we celebrate the strength, resilience & potential of girls everywhere!

"Stories from the Ground" by Unipads sheds light on real challenges faced by young girls. At Bhadrewadi Govt Primary School, girls travel far for education, lacking essential menstrual hygiene products. Join us in bridging these gaps and supporting girls' right to education.

Period poverty goes beyond access to MHM products; it includes knowledge gaps, cultural barriers, and lack of support. Our new series, ‘Stories From the Ground,’ shares real experiences from our outreach programs. Let's tackle this neglected public health issue together!

As a MHM educator, I attend events to engage with beneficiaries. Lately two things that have come up from my personal interactions are early onset of periods and irregular periods among adolescents. Something to ponder upon and gain knowledge around. Blog on it? @unipads_india
