Pad-making webinar organised

Panchkula, May 27

On the eve of World Menstrual Hygiene Day, a webinar on sanitary pad making was organised by social activist Renu Mathur, who is associated with many women empowerment activities.

She taught volunteers from Jaipur, Delhi, Chandigarh, Bathinda and Panchkula about how to make reusable pads from old fabric available at home through a virtual training session. “When we went to the rural areas, it was found that women would use old clothes and that’s not ideal for reproductive health of a woman. It is imperative that the cloth pad is stitched in way that is not only neat hut also hygienic.so as to avoid unnecessary staining and can also be washed , reused,and disposed in an environmentally safe way,”she added. — TNS
