Parivartan \u2013 The Change<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protecting Rivers, Empowering Youth, and Expanding Menstrual Health Awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The year 2022\u201323 was about linking menstrual health with environmental sustainability,
expanding awareness among students, and extending outreach to rural and tribal communities. From protecting
the River Bhagirathi in Uttarakashi from menstrual waste to educating schoolchildren in Uttarakhand, Haryana,
and Madhya Pradesh, Parivartan continued its mission of health, dignity, and ecological responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detailed Initiatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Green Health Project \u2013 Uttarkashi<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with Sirona Hygiene Foundation and the Women & Child Development Department,
Parivartan conducted workshops in multiple villages and auditoriums across Uttarkashi. The project highlighted
the dangers of non-biodegradable menstrual waste polluting the River Bhagirathi. Women, students, and local
authorities participated enthusiastically, committing to eco-friendly menstrual practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
