In our society, when our daughters and sisters get married, we often prioritize logistical arrangements over their well-being. Instead of asking them about their preferred wedding dates, we inquire about the availability of cooks or other service providers.
The Deputy Commissioner, Dr. Syed Sehrish Asgar (IAS) whom I delivered this petition to, and the Chief Education Officer of Baramulla, Mr. Balbir Singh Raina officially sent out circular to higher secondary schools of Baramulla to celebrate World Menstrual Hygiene Day.
For years @AhangerZahida kept using old cloth pieces as an absorbent due to lack of awareness. Today, she is advocating for menstrual rights for menstruators in Baramulla, Kashmir and asking schools to normalise period conversations.

Sharing glimpses from today's MHM session in G. M. School, G.K.Qasim, Baramulla. At first they were quite shy but after few icebreaking activities, i had to answer so many questions they asked about their bodies and myths. It was so amazing meeting this active and receptive group
"�� Big news! Today marks a significant milestone in our MH campaign. With your unwavering support, I met @DrSyedSehrish (DC BARAMULLA) and discussed my https://t.co/CnVuTEPmxL petition to celebrate World Menstrual Hygiene Day in all HS schools.
Schools are the best spaces where we can start conversations around periods. In my campaign on @change.orgindia i have asked DC and CEO Baramulla to direct all HSS in district Baramulla to celebrate MH day on 28th May.
