Women's voices are still being silenced. The women need to speak up about their menstrual problems. Any delay, could cause them harm.

The youth is the part of the population on whom the responsibility lies of bringing forth a glorious future. So when this demographic is endangered for lack of access to affordable menstrual healthcare, we are endangering our future. It is time to step up as a society!

Not having proper education about the menstrual cycle affects our relationship with our bodies, others, and periods in general. We start associating periods with being dirty, smelly and embarrassing.

Why is it that a life giving phenomenon like our period is looked down upon?

We at Dito feel that Mothers play a very important role in the first few years when a girl starts menstuating. What do you think they should be teaching us?

The reproductive system of a woman's body is delicate and very complex.The inaccessibility of proper menstrual aids leads women living in remote areas to take resort in unhygienic practices.This leads to serious ailments.

On 23rd May 1984, Bachendri Pal was the first Indian woman to climb the Everest. 34 years later, we have still not been able to bridge the gap between 23 million girls and education. The reason? Menstruation. Time to make a change.#menstrual #hygiene #women #womanempowerment

It is estimated that unpaid work being undertaken by women today “amounts to as much as $10 trillion of output per year, roughly equivalent to 13% of global GDP "

This woman, used to travel for miles, for a medical checkup before. After DITO'S initiative of Mobile Medicare Unit was introduced in her area, she didn't have to travel far for medical care. It not only saves her times but most importantly is very cost effective.#dito #ngo

"Why not take a plunge and pronounce to the world that mensturation is not impure,it’s natural and that because women menstruate they give birth to new life?" - Sahana Bhowmick, Director of DITO India.

Menstruation continues to be a subject of gender disparity in India. Myths about menstruation are largely prevalent, forcing many girls to drop out of school early or be ostracised for the duration of their menstrual cycle every month. #doyourbit #periodproblem #hygiene #dito
