Nest in India 🇮🇳
So humbled to be invited to hear more about, and contribute thoughts & products to, this cause. Spending time talking about period poverty, period management, period stigma 🩸 and current projects addressing education 🏫 for girls. To see the excitement once the shyness gives way to curiosity is the best! We are utilising the awesome Menstrupedia comic which is an initiative from India and now translated into various languages. Also, many thanks to ‘Reality Tours’ – an ethical and educational tour provider whose aim is to break down the negative stereotypes associated with the slums. Through their guidance we were able to visit the local schools, medical centre and homes.
Can’t recommend these guys highly enough – 80% of the profits from every tour is invested back into the community through the programs of their NGO, ‘Reality Gives’, with the tour guides having grown up in these communities.
