Through the Eco Switch Campaign, we intend to raise awareness among the community on the accessibility of reusable and sustainable menstrual products, like cloth pads and menstrual cups, which decrease environmental and health hazards, and pressure on finances,\u201d Applesta Maryann da Costa, programme lead, psychosocial support for Human Touch Foundation, told TOI.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough awareness programs and demonstrations highlighting the pros and cons of disposable menstrual products versus sustainable menstrual products, we aim to guide adolescent girls and women to gradually shift to eco-friendly menstrual products,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign is the initiative of Human Touch Foundation and is being supported by other collaborators.<\/p>\n<p>The organisers plan to gather testimonials from different rural communities to spread the message and to organise training workshops for teachers to create awareness among their students.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign will also educate the young girls on menstrual hygiene and bust myths about menstruation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Margao: A state-wide campaign on sustainable menstrual health and hygiene with an aim to prevent girls from&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mbp_gutenberg_autopost":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
