A girl with a mission, inspired by Akshay Kumar to a large extent. If Khildai could do a Padman, she aspires to be \u00a0a Padwoman.<\/p>\n<p>Taking first step towards her big dream, Aparna Lohmor, who studies in Class XII of \u00a0Mayo International School ( Patparganj, New Delhi) \u00a0decided to spread awareness about menstrual hygiene in her school to mark the Menstrual Hygiene Day. \u00a0For this she first conducted a survey on girls of class IX to XII, to assess their level of awareness and the practices of menstrual hygiene they adopt.<\/p>\n<p>Aparna found that most \u00a0girls were practicing basic methods of hygiene, but many were not even aware of the fact that sanitary pads should be changed 3-4 times a day to avoid infections. Also, her survey revealed that many girls thought that menstrual blood was dirty.<\/p>\n<p>The most surprising part of survey was that \u00a0many girls still believe that periods are inauspicious. And often these girls avoided school, sports, social functions as they were embarrassed about having periods. \u00a0Most of the girls, however, found school toilets convenient for changing pads.<\/p>\n<p>With little initiative, Aparna has been successful in imparting knowledge to girls about the importance of menstrual hygiene &amp; the long-term complications of unhygienic practices. Like a crusader, she has encouraged the girls to shun all social inhibitions associated with menstruation. She called upon the girls to feel confident and empowered about this issue and spread the same message to other girls in the society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi,\u00a0She is young with big dreams.
