About the Event
Join us for an invigorating session to deep-dive into the challenges and intersectionality of period poverty in India. From the lack of access to menstrual products to poor sanitation, as we continue our fight for menstrual equity, the time is ripe to review our current laws and policies. Almost ubiquitous across Indian states, period poverty and menstrual rights require innovative policies and solution finding. This includes championing robust policies that prioritize the immediate needs of those who menstruate: access, affordability, safety.
In the conversation with Ms. Priyanka Chaturvedi and Mr. Prateek Kanwal, we will concentrate on the unique case of India, still reeling in anachronic period stigmas, analyse current government policies, probe into the scope of sexual/reproductive health and sustainable menstruation, and search for aspirational solutions.
