A sensitisation-cum-training workshop on the topic of menstrual health and hygiene was organised here on Tuesday for sanitation and class IV employees of East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC).
The workshop, marking the Menstrual Health Awareness Day, was organised by Delhi-based NGO Sachhi Saheli in collaboration with the Delhi Legal Services Authority (DLSA).
The event aimed to equip this "neglected group of the society with proper education on menstrual health and hygiene as they have the least access to health care services and education", the organisers said.
"You take care of all of us by maintaining hygiene and sanitation and today we are here to impart to you proper knowledge so that you can effectively take care of your personal and menstrual hygiene.
"I am confident that the knowledge you gain here on menstruation will help you overcome taboos related to menstruation," Surbhi Singh, gynaecologist and Sachhi Saheli's President, said.
