Waste Management
Vision / Mission
Vision: PeriodLove #BleedGreen.
Period Love - To get girls and women to look at menstruation in a positive way.
BleedGreen - A world without sanitary waste
Mission: A new menstrual conversation paradigm that changes how the community perceives periods.
Make every district reduce sanitary waste while creating employment for women.
The opportunity in front of us is to impact the menstrual health of 335 million menstruating women in India in a positive and sustainable manner. This positively impacts women’s health, the environment and leads to period positivity.
Disruptors – While the whole world thinks that disposable sanitary napkins liberate women of their period problems, we urge them to make a conscious, sustainable decision and shift to cloth pads and menstrual cups.
After volunteering for waste management causes and working in the area of menstrual hygiene management in the field, I strongly believe that sustainable menstruation is the most healthy way to move forward.
