 Empowering Young Minds: Landmark Menstrual Hygiene Workshop at Samsara World Academy




Greater Noida, May 8, 2025 – In a decisive move toward fostering awareness and breaking societal taboos, Samsara World Academy, in collaboration with the Bougainvillea Art Foundation, hosted an insightful and empowering Menstrual Hygiene Workshop on May 7, 2025.

The session was led by Nandini Rai, a Menstrupedia-certified menstrual hygiene activist, and Dr. Kaynat Kazi, founder of the Bougainvillea Art Foundation. Together, they created a safe, open, and supportive space for students to learn about menstruation, understand the physiological changes it brings, and adopt healthy hygiene practices.











Menstrual health is a vital yet often overlooked aspect of a young person’s well-being. Workshops like this not only dispel myths but also equip students with the confidence and knowledge to manage their health proactively.

A Workshop That Inspired and Educated

The event saw enthusiastic participation from students, who engaged freely in discussions and activities.

  • Nandini Rai, drawing on her extensive experience, addressed the biological aspects of menstruation, safe hygiene practices, and the use of menstrual products. Her approachable style and interactive methods encouraged students to ask questions without hesitation.
  • Dr. Kaynat Kazi, known for her advocacy in social and cultural causes, explored the socio-cultural dimensions of menstruation. She emphasized destigmatizing periods and urged students to embrace this natural process with confidence. Her presence reinforced the Bougainvillea Art Foundation’s commitment to holistic community development and youth empowerment.

A Progressive Partnership


The collaboration between Samsara World Academy and the Bougainvillea Art Foundation reflects a forward-thinking approach to education—one that recognizes health, awareness, and emotional well-being as essential components of student growth. The school provided an ideal, supportive environment for the session, ensuring that students could fully benefit from the expertise of the facilitators.

A school representative shared:

“We believe in providing our students with a comprehensive education that extends beyond academics. This workshop on menstrual hygiene is a testament to our commitment to their health, well-being, and empowerment. We are delighted to have partnered with the Bougainvillea Art Foundation and to host such distinguished speakers as Ms. Nandini Rai and Dr. Kaynat Kazi.”

Key Topics Covered

  • Understanding the menstrual cycle
  • Importance of personal hygiene during menstruation
  • Debunking myths and misconceptions
  • Safe use and disposal of sanitary products
  • Managing discomfort and nutritional guidance

The workshop concluded with an engaging Q&A session, where students clarified doubts and shared personal reflections. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from both students and faculty underscored the event’s success.

Paving the Way for an Empowered Generation

By addressing menstrual hygiene openly, scientifically, and sensitively, Samsara World Academy and the Bougainvillea Art Foundation have taken a significant step in shaping a generation that is informed, healthy, and confident. Their joint initiative stands as a model for progressive education—where awareness and empowerment go hand in hand.
