Asmita- My period, My pride
Breaking Barriers with Menstrual Dignity
Asmita is an initiative by WE4YOU, created to empower girls and young women with disabilities by promoting menstrual health awareness, hygiene education, and product accessibility.
Menstruation is natural, but for many girls with disabilities, it comes with unique challenges—from lack of understanding to limited access to suitable menstrual products. Asmita addresses these barriers with sensitivity, inclusion, and practical solutions.
What Asmita Offers:
Menstrual Health Education: Simple, inclusive, and accessible sessions that explain the menstrual cycle, bodily changes,
and self-care in the special schools in the rural belts of Odisha.
Hygiene & Dignity Training:
Focused guidance on maintaining cleanliness and personal care during menstruation, tailored to various physical and cognitive needs.
A Basket of Menstrual Product Choices:
From sanitary pads to menstrual cups and reusable cloth pads—Asmita ensures any girl is allowed choose what’s right for them, safely and confidently.
Supportive Ecosystem
We involve families, caregivers, and educators to create an environment free of stigma and discomfort, replacing shame with support.
Why Asmita Matters
Menstrual health is not a luxury—it’s a fundamental right. Asmita ensures that every girl, regardless of her ability, has the knowledge, tools, and confidence to manage her period with dignity.
Together, we’re building a world where disability does not mean disadvantage, and menstruation does not mean shame.
