Many organizations come up with different ideas to bring about a change in society. They adopt various strategies to modify the mindset of people towards a particular thing. Not only organizations but some people bring a difference into society. For instance, earlier, girls were not allowed to get an education. Girls were forced to indulge themselves in household activities. But with the virtue of Savitribai Phule, women start getting an education. Women were given equal education opportunities. Within a few years, people bought a change in their mindset towards female education.
We have often heard about the myth, stigma, and taboos associated with periods. Women are shy to talk about periods as periods are a sign of ‘dirt’ and ‘impurity.’ Lack of awareness and acceptability related to periods develop a negative attitude. Lack of accessibility to period products indulges women in unhygienic activities such as using old pieces of cloth, sandbags and leaves to absorb the menstrual flow.
To bring a modification in people’s mindset towards periods and develop a positive attitude towards periods, Stree Sanman is an organization on a mission to end period poverty. It changes people’s perspective towards periods to help women be period proud. It is said that great ideas receive the recognition that it deserves. The same happened with Stree Sanman Pvt. Ltd.
