At Bamnauli School (New Delhi), what started as a simple session turned into
a powerful step toward awareness, confidence, and empowerment.
Girls from grades 8th, 9th, and 10th came together.
In the beginning, there was hesitation—lowered gazes, silent questions, and uncertainty.
But as the session on reproductive health and care unfolded, something shifted.
Curiosity replaced silence. Questions replaced fear.
Topics that are often avoided were discussed openly.
Hesitation gradually turned into confidence.
The girls began to:
- Understand their bodies better
- Learn the importance of menstrual hygiene
- Gain confidence to express themselves freely
What made this session impactful was not just the knowledge shared, but
the safe space that allowed voices to be heard.
It reinforced a powerful truth:
Right knowledge at the right time can transform lives.
This session was conducted by Madhuri Varshney from Rise Foundation,
with the vision to break taboos and build awareness around menstrual health.
