Sanitary Dignity Kits – Empowering Adolescent Girls with Confidence and Care

Rationale

Menstruation should never be a reason for a girl to miss school—but for many adolescent students at Suma Vidyalaya, the lack of access to menstrual hygiene products, education, and privacy leads to embarrassment, stigma, and frequent absenteeism. We aim to restore dignity, promote health, and ensure that periods do not disrupt education through the distribution of Sanitary Dignity Kits.

Causes Behind the Issue

• Lack of Access to Menstrual Products: Families struggling financially often cannot afford sanitary pads or hygiene supplies for their daughters.
• Stigma and Lack of Awareness: Cultural taboos and silence around menstruation cause confusion, shame, and fear among adolescent girls.
• School Absenteeism During Periods: Without proper materials or understanding, many girls miss school for several days each month—affecting learning outcomes and confidence.
• Limited Privacy and Support: Many schools lack private changing areas, sanitary disposal options, or teachers trained to support menstrual health conversations.
