How comfortable do you feel talking about periods? This week's #WednesdayWisdom comes from @UNICEFIndia's @idhries on the stigma around periods and why we must start speaking out. "A period is good. It is natural. It is beautiful." https://t.co/fAKe9EI8Se

At Adarsh Ramanand Middle School, Purnea district of Bihar, a quiet revolution is unfolding. The Saheli Kaksh, or “Friendly Corner,” is more than just a room—it's a step toward a period-friendly world where every girl feels seen, safe, and supported.

Join us as we step into the Saheli Kaksh and meet the changemakers creating a safer, stronger future for girls.
