| Sunrise Public School organizes programme on women health | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 21: Sunrise Public School, conducted a day-long programme, "Women Health and Hygiene Camp" in Channi Himmat today. It has been found that there is a lack of awareness about adolescence among school going girls and dearth of sentience among ladies especially the old women about sanitation, use of sanitary napkins and disposal of menstrual waste. Through this camp, Set India team would like to make an effort to create awareness among female villagers of Thangar Pulli and sensitize them about adolescence, sanitation, use of sanitary napkins and disposal of menstrual waste and other related matters. The camp will be conducted at local community area of the School. "Boys used to laugh at me and I eventually simply stayed home whenever my periods started" One of the girl stated. "The girl with her period is the one to hang her head. Children and boys will make fun of her," one young girl told researchers in Camp.
The problem is similar in neighbouring Channi Himmat. The camp concluded with the address by Manpreet Kour, Director Sunrise Public School. "Most people and men in particular, find menstrual hygiene a difficult subject to talk about. As a result of these issues, a WASH intervention often fails to address the needs of women and girls". "If the situation does not change, it may not be possible for development programmes to achieve their goals," they stated. Mrs. Rajesh Sharma took the round of the camp. He appreciated this creativity idea of Set India team to conduct awareness in women. |
