Menstrual health awareness plays a vital role in shaping the physical, emotional, and social well-being of young girls. Creating a safe environment where students can openly learn and discuss menstrual health is essential for building confidence, breaking myths, and encouraging healthy habits from an early age.
With this vision, a menstrual hygiene awareness workshop was conducted for the students of Classes 6 and 7 at Birla Vidya Niketan on 15th May 2026. The session was led by Dr. Sakshi Goel, Senior Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Madhukar Rainbow Children’s Hospital.
Creating Awareness Through Education
The workshop focused on educating young girls about the importance of menstrual health and hygiene. The session aimed to help students understand the natural changes their bodies experience during adolescence while promoting healthy and hygienic menstrual practices.
Dr. Sakshi Goel discussed several important topics, including:
- Understanding menstruation and body changes
- Maintaining proper hygiene during periods
- Healthy habits during menstruation
- Emotional well-being and self-care
- Breaking common myths and misconceptions related to periods
The session encouraged students to view menstruation as a natural and healthy process rather than a topic surrounded by hesitation or stigma.
Interactive and Engaging Learning Experience
To make the workshop more interactive and engaging, the session included open discussions where students were encouraged to ask questions and share their thoughts comfortably.
One of the highlights of the event was a rapid-fire round focused on menstrual hygiene and health awareness. Students participated enthusiastically, answered confidently, and actively engaged throughout the activity. The lively interaction reflected the growing confidence and awareness among the students.
The workshop created a positive atmosphere where young girls felt heard, informed, and empowered.
Importance of Menstrual Hygiene Awareness in Schools
Adolescent health education is essential in helping students develop confidence, awareness, and healthy habits. Schools play a significant role in creating supportive environments where important conversations about menstrual health can take place openly and respectfully.
Awareness sessions like these help:
- Eliminate myths and misinformation
- Promote hygienic practices
- Build emotional confidence
- Encourage self-care and body positivity
- Support healthy communication among students
Educating girls at the right age empowers them to manage menstruation with confidence and dignity.
