Bharti Nishad, a 15-year-old girl from Mangsha village in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, is a student gearing up for her class 10 board exams. She represents a crucial demographic that urgently needs to transition from using commercial sanitary pads to more sustainable alternatives.
Bharti is optimistic about the impending shift from commercial to reusable pads and is glad to be part of this transformative wave. Having used SmartPads, she attests to their superiority over those available in the market. Bharti has gained knowledge about menstruation and has developed insights to initiate conversations on the topic. The training and knowledge-sharing sessions she participated in have aided in dispelling myths that were previously associated with menstruation. She is determined to communicate this newfound knowledge to others in her community.
Living in an era where digital tools are readily available, Bharti recognizes the importance of acquiring knowledge in this domain to avoid being marginalized within her peer group.
Consequently, she found the module on Digital and Financial Literacy particularly beneficial.
Bharti’s journey reflects the empowerment that comes from informed choices and access to knowledge, emphasizing the significance of breaking free from myths and embracing sustainable practices in menstrual health.
