A Chuppi Todo Baithak (CTB) is a friendly conversation with 5 or more people on women’s dignity and menstruation. It is about breaking the age old silence around the basic biological need of menstruation, so that people become more aware about the connect between menstruation and women’s health.
Menstruation is an issue that affects us all, whether you are a man or a woman. That’s why we all must get involved in breaking the culture of shame and silence around it. Goonj first talked about this issue more than a decade ago, while also parallely working on menstrual hygiene for women in far-flung villages of India with its ‘Not Just a Piece of Cloth’ (NJPC) initiative.
In the month of the ‘International Menstrual Hygiene Day’ (28th May) Goonj is launching ‘Raise Your Hand’ (RYH) Campaign among the masses for women’s dignity and a conversation on menstruation.
‘Raise Your Hand’ for a human issue!!
- Initiate a conversation on menstruation ‘Chuppi Todo Baithak’ (Break the silence meeting) among your network of 5 or more men/women to establish menstruation as a normal. Sign up here – bit.ly/2IeISBu
- Contribute for providing 100,000 menstrual ‘Dignity Packs’ and menstrual hygiene awareness to women and girls in villages of India. For financial contribution, https://goonj.org/donate/
The campaign is up on Goonj social media channels- Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. We are doing our bit to spread the word but more needs to be done to get everyone involved.
Do take it forward in your own network – FB page, WhatsApp groups, Twitter handle etc. because every action matters!!
