Lal Sakhi-The Women's Voice Foundation

The initiative named DHARTI, abbreviated for Degradable Hygiene Management and Recycling Training Initiative, focuses on raising awareness and providing training sessions concerning menstrual cycle management, waste management, environmental conservation, and empowerment of women. This pragmatic initiative emphasizes social mobilization and implements a change agents movement campaign.
The project advocates the adoption of menstrual cups as an eco-friendly and reusable alternative to plastic sanitary pads and tampons, which contribute to massive plastic waste accumulation and take years to degrade. By promoting the usage of menstrual cups, the project aims to enhance women's economic well-being, promote environmental sustainability, and contribute to key sustainable development goals. It aligns with the objectives of the NRLM (National Rural Livelihood Mission), particularly addressing maternal, adolescent, and child health objectives.
