On 10 March 2026, a meaningful and impactful Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Seminar was organized at The Cetalite Center of Manav Mandir Mission in Village Munirka, New Delhi. The event was conducted in collaboration with Manav Mandir Mission Trust and in association with Bougainvillea Art Foundation, bringing together community members, educators, and young participants to discuss an important yet often stigmatized topic—menstrual health and hygiene.

The seminar was designed as an educational and awareness-building initiative, aligning with the spirit of International Women’s Day, which celebrates women’s empowerment, health, and dignity. The event served as a platform to promote open dialogue on menstrual health and encourage informed, healthy practices.


About Manav Mandir Mission

Established under the Indian Trust Act of 1882 on 3 November 1989, the Mission works toward the upliftment of society through educational initiatives, moral guidance, and social awareness programs.

Guided by the philosophy of compassion, spiritual wisdom, and service to humanity, the Mission frequently organizes seminars, workshops, and community activities aimed at nurturing ethical values and holistic development.

The collaboration with the Mission for this seminar helped bring the message of menstrual health awareness directly to the community in a respectful and supportive environment.


Seminar Speaker and Coordinator



The seminar featured Ms. Nandini Rai, a Menstrupedia-certified menstrual hygiene activist, as the keynote speaker. Through her engaging and informative session, she addressed myths and misconceptions surrounding menstruation and highlighted the importance of hygienic menstrual practices.

Her presentation focused on:

  • Understanding the menstrual cycle and body awareness

  • Maintaining proper menstrual hygiene

  • Breaking social taboos and stigma around menstruation

  • Promoting safe and healthy menstrual products

  • Encouraging confidence and open discussion among young girls

The session was coordinated by Dr. Kaynat Kazi, who played a vital role in organizing the event and ensuring active participation from attendees.


Interactive Learning and Community Engagement



The seminar was structured to encourage dialogue and participation. Attendees were invited to ask questions, share experiences, and learn practical tips about menstrual health management.

The interactive format helped create a comfortable and supportive space, allowing participants to discuss a topic that is often considered sensitive in many communities. Educational materials and awareness resources were also shared to ensure that participants could continue spreading knowledge within their families and communities.


Promoting Health, Dignity, and Awareness

Menstrual hygiene is a crucial aspect of women’s health and well-being. Lack of awareness and persistent social taboos can lead to misinformation, poor hygiene practices, and health complications.

Through this seminar, the organizers aimed to:

  • Promote accurate menstrual health education

  • Encourage confidence and self-care among young women

  • Break societal stigma around menstruation

  • Empower communities through knowledge and dialogue

By hosting such initiatives, Manav Mandir Mission continues to demonstrate its commitment to community development, education, and social well-being.


Looking Ahead

The Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Seminar at The Cetalite Center was a step forward in fostering informed conversations about women’s health. Events like these not only educate but also help normalize discussions around menstruation, encouraging dignity, respect, and awareness in society.

With continued collaborations between social organizations, educators, and community leaders, such initiatives can play a vital role in building a healthier and more informed future for women and girls.
