Days of Pride

We’re often asked, “Why sanitary pads? Is it that important?” The answer is yes: for countless girls and women, sanitary pads are an unaffordable luxury. Thousands of females indicated that they had little choice but to use dangerous and even unhygienic methods to satisfy their needs. Among these is making makeshift temporary pads from old clothes, rags, newspapers, mattress scraps, and other readily available materials.

We at Naya Sawera NGO have taken the initiative of providing sanitary pads to a maximum number of girls/ladies each month with proper records. Under the campaign Days of Pride, we have distributed around 90,000 packets of Sanitary Pads (Total pads around 8 Lakh) to the Girls/Ladies in the government school and the slums who can’t afford these each month such necessity. We are spreading awareness about health and menstrual hygiene since May 2016 through 10 Sanitary Pads Banks operational in the slums and 3 Government Schools.

We want to lower the number of female school dropouts since education is the most important thing in one's life. We wish to avoid any form of harm that might prohibit women from reaching their life goals and aspirations. We hope to have such an effect in a society where everyone is aware of the importance of hygiene and healthy living.
