At The Girl Foundation, we are committed to empowering women and girls by addressing critical issues such as women’s employment, girls’ rights, and menstrual health. One of our most impactful initiatives was the “100 Schools, 100 Days” campaign. Our mission was to reach 100 schools in 100 days to promote menstrual health and gender sensitization among young minds.

The Mission: 100 Schools, 100 Days

This campaign was a labor of love and dedication. We set out with the goal of educating students about menstrual health and fostering an environment where gender sensitization is deeply rooted. We believe that by educating young students about these crucial issues, we can bring about a paradigm shift in societal attitudes towards women and girls.

Promoting Menstrual Health

During the campaign, our dedicated team conducted interactive sessions on menstrual health. We aimed to dispel myths and break the stigma associated with menstruation. We educated students on the biological aspects of menstruation, the importance of menstrual hygiene, and how to manage it effectively. We distributed menstrual hygiene kits and demonstrated their use, ensuring that every girl had access to the necessary resources.

Explaining Gender Sensitization

Understanding gender roles and stereotypes is crucial for building a just society. Our campaign went beyond menstrual health to address the importance of gender sensitization. Through engaging activities and discussions, we encouraged students to challenge traditional gender norms and embrace equality. Role-playing scenarios, group discussions, and interactive storytelling were some of the methods we used to make the sessions impactful and relatable.

Activities that Made a Difference

• Interactive Workshops: We conducted workshops where students participated in discussions about gender roles, stereotypes, and the importance of equality.
• Role-Playing: Students engaged in role-playing activities to understand and empathize with the experiences of different genders.
• Storytelling Sessions: We shared inspiring stories of women who have broken barriers and achieved success in various fields, motivating students to question societal norms.
• Art and Expression: We encouraged students to express their thoughts on gender equality through art, writing, and drama, fostering a creative and inclusive environment.
