Across 7 Indian States, College Students Found a Way to Ensure Girls Don’t Miss School During Periods.

Across 7 Indian states, college students have taken a powerful step toward menstrual equity by ensuring that girls don’t miss school during their periods. Through awareness drives, free or affordable sanitary products, and open conversations around menstrual health, they are breaking long-standing taboos. This initiative directly addresses a major reason for school absenteeism among adolescent girls. By normalising periods and providing practical support, these students are helping young girls continue their education with dignity. The effort also builds confidence, improves health outcomes, and promotes gender equality at the grassroots level. It shows how youth-led action can create real, lasting social change.
