Menstrual Hygiene Management

OSVSWA is transforming menstrual health management by empowering adolescent girls and tribal women through awareness programs and sustainable solutions. The initiative promotes eco-friendly menstrual products like reusable cloth pads and menstrual cups while discouraging the use of non-biodegradable, chemical-laden disposable pads.

In the early stages, OSVSWA focused on breaking menstrual taboos and fostering self-empowerment through workshops and training sessions. This created a foundation for addressing menstrual strength and hygiene.

To complement this, the organization introduced a menstrual pad-making initiative, providing livelihood opportunities for tribal women and promoting biodegradable and reusable pads. The program educates on the risks of conventional pads containing harmful superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) and advocates for sustainable practices to ensure health, dignity, and environmental responsibility.

By combining awareness, skill-building, and sustainability, OSVSWA is driving impactful change in menstrual health management across communities.
