"Money cannot eradicate #poverty, only #education can" - MF Moonzajer
23 million women drop out of school every year when they start menstruating in India according to @dasra
This is something that we need to address as a country and join hands together to drive #change
The role of non-menstruators in the development of menstrual health and hygiene in our country is significant.
As part of our #weshouldknow campaign, we invite everyone to be part of this relentless chase.
Our goal is to target all key stakeholders and drive #change.
"At first, I thought it was just me. When my mother started to complain about her aggravated PMS pain, I started wondering whether it was happening to more menstruators out there", writes YKA user Melanie Dhar. @PeriodPaath

71% of girls report having no knowledge of #periods until their first period. (report by @dasra, 2014.)

For many #girls today, the talk about #menstrualhealth and hygiene is mostly still in '#whispers' and is extremely stigmatised. #Devi, seeks to address the critical menstrual health and hygiene challenges the #menstruators face today, by educating, enabling and empowering them.
