"Why girls are special" a session for the overexposed bewildered adolescents at Podar World School, Sherkhi.
Pre-existing social taboos and cultural restraints during menstruation mean that managing menstruation has become a greater challenge indeed for every girl and their parents.
The Biology Educator, Ms Smita Chitnis of Podar World School, Sherkhi imparted a highly interactive session for girl students of grade IV, V & VI about the menstrual cycle and the myths associated with it stating “why girls are special”. The session enlightened the tender minds with the reason for menstrual cycle, the abdominal pain associated to it, how to use a sanitary napkin, the need to maintain proper hygiene and the right way to dispose the used napkins. It was a session wherein the students clarified all their queries. The explanation cum digital representation of the metabolic process was an eye-opener for many of them and it helped to resolve many myths and fear about the monthly cycle in females.
Thanks to the Management, the Principal, Ms Preeta Pillai and the Biology Educator, Ms Smita Chitnis for the thoughtful gesture.
