A flash mob brought the conversation about menstruation to a public place on Menstrual Hygiene Day which falls on May 28. This paper cited how a group of dancers caught the attention and eyeballs of commuters outside Bandra station. They danced to a rap song raising awareness about menstruation.
An adjunct report in the same paper highlighted challenges faced by teenage girls, many from underserved communities about changing sanitary napkins and disposing of them correctly during their period. Overall, the reports were about bringing conversations about menstruation in the open, beginning with a unit as small as the family, facilitating health and hygienic facilities for girls and seeing that menstruation is not an obstacle for them to achieving academic and life goals.
