The taboo surrounding menstrual hygiene in parts of South India has led to marginalization of girls and women. This stigma has also caused numerous adolescent girls to often compromise on their education and other day-to-day activities. Through the Menstrual Hygiene Management campaign that reaches out to 600 rural adolescent girls in Ramnagara and Kolar in Karnataka, SCINDIeA aims to ensure that rural adolescent girls can manage their periods in a way that are healthy and enables full participation in school, work and other activities.
