About the Campaign:
Sky Social’s ‘Period No More Limits’ is an advocacy campaign launched under the YOUTH KI AWAZ Action Network Fellowship to challenge menstrual stigma and improve access to menstrual products. The campaign aims to reduce school dropout rates among girls by promoting menstrual education and ensuring better implementation of the Menstrual Hygiene Scheme under Rashtriya Kishore Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK).
Key Objectives:
- Mobilizing 5,000 adolescent girls in rural Bhopal’s government schools.
- Training SHG women, adolescent girls, men, and boys on Menstrual Health Management (MHM) and Sexual and Reproductive Health.
- Enhancing the accessibility and availability of sanitary products through improved supply chain management.
- Ensuring effective convergence between the Health Department, Rural Development Department, and Education Department to improve menstrual product distribution.
Outreach and Impact:
Through online and offline campaigns, Sky Social has empowered youth, community members, and frontline workers to address period poverty, challenge menstrual myths, and promote positive social attitudes toward menstruation.
Key achievements include:
- Reduction in School Dropout Rates: By working closely with teachers and addressing behavioral change, the campaign has successfully contributed to reducing absenteeism among girls.
- Strengthened Policy Implementation:By improving awareness and execution of existing schemes like RKSK at the grassroots level, we ensured that menstrual products reached those in need.
- Behavioral Change with Teachers and Communities: Focused efforts on sensitizing teachers and influencing community attitudes resulted in improved support systems for menstruating girls.
- Balanced Responsibilities: Policy implementation duties were distributed among multiple frontline workers to reduce the burden on ASHA workers.
- Inclusive Training Programs: Awareness sessions for women, men, and youth fostered attitudinal shifts and reduced menstrual stigma.
- Improved Accessibility: Strengthened convergence between key government departments ensured consistent sanitary product supply.
- Enhanced Infrastructure & Capacity Building: Improved public sector facilities and trained service providers to deliver respectful, client-centered care.
- Psychological Well-being: Integrated mental health awareness into menstrual education for better emotional support.
- Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Ensured age-appropriate education for youth in schools and communities to promote healthy attitudes toward sexual and reproductive health.
