The initiative aims to
educate women in the slum area about menstrual hygiene and provide them with
sanitary napkins and food items.
Digital Desk: On the occasion of
International Women's Day, Vantage Circle, a leading global employee engagement
company announced its initiative to support women from slum areas by providing
them with free sanitary napkins and assorted ration items on 7th of March 2023.
Menstruation is a natural occurrence
that every woman experiences. However, for women living in slums, a lack of
proper knowledge about menstrual hygiene is a major issue. It frequently leads
to poor hygiene, infections, and other health issues, exacerbating their
difficulties and impeding their overall progress.
In support of this year's
International Women's Day theme, #EmbraceEquity, male and female Vantage Circle
employees forged harmony and unity amongst all by addressing some of the core
issues of menstrual hygiene faced by women in slum areas. This step was carried
out in collaboration with an NGO called 'Snehalaya Kendra.' The employees
explained how women living in such conditions can manage their menstrual health
with dignity by providing them with essential nutrition to fuel their growth
and development.
Anjan Pathak, CTO and Co-founder of
Vantage Circle, said, "As a socially
responsible organization, we believe in empowering women and girls by providing
them with the necessary tools to lead a healthy and prosperous life. By
extending our support to women from slum areas, we aim to break the stigma
surrounding menstruation and promote a culture of menstrual hygiene and women's
health."
