Ehsaas International launched versatile Program on women menstrual health and hygiene in association with Dept of Social & Preventive Medicine, Govt Medical College, Srinagar. The first leg of program was kick started today at Village Zalpora in Sumbal and will be followed by more such camps in other areas.
The program named as "PANEIN FIKIR - let's care about ourselves" is an awareness initiative highlighting use and proper disposal of sanitary pads among female masses of society, said Hakim Mohd. Ilyas, General Secretary of Ehsaas.
There is a large population of females in the valley who are not aware of the use of sanitary pads. However, many are reluctant to use it due to a number of reasons even though they are aware about it. At the same time it is found that a good number of females do not have financial means to buy and use sanitary pads which puts a direct risk on their health, said Dr. Auqfeen Nisar who is pursuing MD in Community Medicine at GMC, Srinagar and is incharge of program.
Under this initiative we intend to provide awareness on the use of sanitary pads and its proper disposal. We would provide sanitary pads free of cost in areas where the concept of its use is new to people. Subsequently pads will be made available at subsidized rates to encourage females to use it. Also social taboos attached to this concern of females will be addressed taking the help from religious preachers, said Syed Tabasum Geelani, Chairman of Ehsaas. The program was implemented in association with Dept of Social and Preventive Medicine, Govt Medical College, Srinagar who provided experts for the initiative.
On the sidelines of awareness camp, consultation to needy patients was provided by Dr. Syed Masooma Rizvi, a leading gynaecologist of the valley.
