Spriha Society
Founded in 2020, Spriha Society is a feminist, women-led organization that aims to banish myths and taboos around menstruation that act as a barrier to good health practices and education in India, rural and urban, through the dissemination of accurate information on menstruation, its hygienic management, and reproductive and sexual health. We focus on bridging the gap between the stakeholders and the government's menstrual hygiene management schemes by conducting menstruation awareness programmes in government and government-aided schools. Our approach centers around gender equality by generating awareness regarding menstruation and reproductive health and breaking down cultural and societal barriers that prevent girls from attending school during menstruation.
