Period of Change

One of the most noticeable and significant waste streams in many villages are disposable plastic sanitary pads. They are also responsible for clogging sewers in cities which are still manually cleaned by workers from the lower caste. The ‘Period of Change’ project addressed the issue of menstrual hygiene management through a national workshop in Pune and a series of webinars. The main objective was to promote more environmentally sustainable and healthy ways to manage
menstruation.
