NAYI ROSHNI’S PROJECTS FOR WOMEN

We at Nayi Roshni Foundation have been making an effort at addressing the root cause of gender equality and working towards empowering women and young girls. We have made efforts time and again at educating them about their rights and against injustices often tossed at them because of their gender.

Awareness Program on Menstrual Hygiene

In the beginning of 2020, Nayi Roshni Foundation took the initiative of holding an awareness program on the importance of maintaining menstrual hygiene among adolescent girls. The program was held at Holy Child School in Guwahati, Assam. The session was meant to educate them on the need to maintain menstrual hygiene and was attended by about 300 girl students. The program was preceded by gynaecologist, Dr. Ayona Barthakur who briefed the girls about their ovulating cycle and pressed the importance of safety during sexual activities. The doctor also shared a few tips with the girls on maintaining hygiene during their monthly menstruations and stressed the need to exercise extreme care while discarding Sanitary Napkins in an environmentally friendly manner. The session ended with a Q&A round. The initiative was highly appreciated by the faculty and the management board of the school and encouraged the NGO to keep pursuing such initiatives.

Awareness Camp/Seminar on Trafficking of Women and Young Girls

Nayi Roshni Foundation initiated a total of ten seminars on trafficking of women and young girls with the motive of generating awareness about human smuggling and the fight against human trafficking, especially that of women and young girls. Each of the seminars were two- day awareness programme aimed at targeting young school girls and teenagers who often fall prey to false promises of budding young lovers and are being sold in the flesh market (sex trafficking), and young women lured in with promises of better job prospective as seen commonly in cases of labour trafficking. The seminar was thus aimed at discussing about these daunting issues and creating awareness in the community about women and child trafficking.
