While in north Bengal our teams are reaching out to farmers to purchase potatoes in bulk and including these in our local ration kits, in Sunderbans, where our teams had earlier (before the lockdown) worked with the communities to plant kitchen gardens, they are now growing and selling back fresh vegetables to us, which are being added to our local ration kits.

This is how we make Goonj MY Pads. This is how our mothers and grandmothers turned their spare cloth into pads. We would love to hear how you make your cloth pads.
Please do share this video in your own network.

Sandeep Raj, a team Goonj member took this picture..
His story about the picture- Sandeep works in Goonj’s Office and was visiting Puri, Odisha, to cover the aftermath of Fani Cyclone in April 2019. He says about the picture “I could feel how much people must have suffered and lost after the cyclone. It was raining and the roofs were missing, No place to be in, no food to eat and they were managing with whatever little they were left with.

This one-act is not only shameless but fundamentally wrong at so many levels; treating women as second-grade human beings and citizens and violating their human rights and dignity. Forcing women to remove their panties to see if they are menstruating is also a telling comment on how the taboos around “purity & “impurity” in menstruation are still so deeply rooted in our society. The fact that this bigotry surfaced in the campus is especially disturbing as campuses are meant to be a safe place where women feel empowered.

Let’s make Cloth Bags a way of life.. simplest step to stand with our environment. When you use and gift ‘Goonj ka Jhola’ you save the environment, provide a livelihood, save waste from landfills and most importantly support our work on rural issues across India.
