200 under-privileged girls get reusable sanitary napkins

In recognition of Valentine's Day, Kavazo, a café based in Dhaka, and Shaathi Bangladesh Limited, a social enterprise committed to improving menstrual hygiene management, joined forces to provide 600 eco-friendly reusable sanitary napkins to 200 underprivileged girls at Fatema Lira Mohila Madrasah and Orphanage yesterday.

The event kicked off with an informative session on menstrual hygiene management, led by a health official and facilitated by a trained educator. The session also addressed cultural barriers and taboos that often hinder a girl's progress.

At the conclusion of the session, each girl received a menstrual hygiene kit, empowering them to manage their periods with confidence and dignity.
