Our main focus is on breaking the silence about periods and providing end-to-end solutions for menstrual hygiene.Talking about menstruation has not been easy. Even though it is a normal biological process, there is total silence about periods. Women of all social strata are uncomfortable to openly discuss what is perceived as a private and unclean affair. According to UNICEF, 23 million girls dropout of high school due to improper facilities, awareness, and inconveniences. Only a small minority of women in rural India are estimated to use sanitary napkins. The rest follow unhygienic practices such as using old clothes, blouses with hooks etc., which is a major cause of Reproductive Tract Syndrome (RTS).
MITU is working towards bringing awareness, one school, one village at a time. MITU has educated more than thirty five thousand girls and women through awareness sessions that include menstrual hygiene, education about reproductive system, breaking the myths and taboos, importance of balanced diet, correct usage and disposal of single and multi use sanitary pads.
