A myth repeated for years can quietly become an unhealthy habit.
This World Menstrual Hygiene Day, we’re separating myths from facts - because awareness is the first step towards safe menstrual hygiene practices, dignity, hygiene education, and better women’s health.
She shows up through the cramps, the fatigue, the discomfort that the world rarely stops to acknowledge. But today, we ask, should she always have to?
Rest is not weakness. Rest is a right.
Periods are not a choice. Pain is not a weakness. Rest is not a privilege.
If a workplace system penalizes women for acknowledging a biological reality, the problem is not menstrual leave, the problem is the system.
Supporting women’s health does not weaken institutions; it strengthens them.
Several countries and progressive organizations across the world have already adopted menstrual leave policies recognising the need for humane and inclusive workplaces.

@thebetterindia#Right2Rest was built on the same belief, that periods must never become a barrier to opportunity!
Proud to have championed menstrual leave and helped push this conversation into the national policy space.
@GauravPRAG
@ANI Proudly welcome the Supreme Court’s recognition of menstrual health and hygiene!
At PRAG, having championed #Right2Rest and taken this conversation to Parliament, this moment reaffirms that progressive ideas can shape national change.

Watching a father ask for a sanitary pad for his daughter in a crowded airport…
It’s heartbreaking.
It’s a systemic oversight.
We introduced #Right2Rest in 2018, because women shouldn’t have to beg for rest, care or basic supplies.
