Puberty Awareness Workshop

Educational and awareness programs on puberty play a crucial role in ensuring that young girls make the right decisions for themselves. Since young girls often do not share their problems with their parents and their peers during this time, these school programs provide girls with opportunities to ask questions, discuss their problems and find solutions.

On 7th March 2019, the Veni Rao Foundation organized an awareness workshop on Puberty for the girls of Grades VI to IX at the adopted government school of Masjid Banda. Over 200 girls participated in this workshop. The workshop was conducted by the counsellors of CHIREC, Ms. Padma and Ms. Uma Maheshwari. They explained the physical, hormonal and emotional changes that a woman’s body goes through during the puberty, and also showed an informational video from Menstrupedia.
