Hello Friends,

We have crossed One Lakh signatures! 

Your support makes me go on and push for the rights of millions of women and girls who are forced to suffer in flood relief camps during Assam Floods without pads, toilets, or basic safety.

On the week of International Day of the Girl let’s TWEET to Finance and Health Minister of Assam Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma to provide pads in the basic list of relief items along with toilets and safe shelters. Click here to tweet!

You must be wondering what happened after we delivered our gift of pads to the Finance and Health Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma and the State Disaster Management Agency?

A senior official from the government reached out to me to know more about our campaign! We had a good conversation. Now I am in touch with some other officials and our discussions till now have been encouraging. I am happy that our cause is being heard inside the Assam government. 

Public opinion can get things done faster. Let’s ensure bureaucratic processes do not deny the right to dignified periods of girls in the next flood season. Tweet to the Assam government to build girl-friendly flood shelters which have pads & clean toilets to ensure #DignityinFloods.

Thank you again for being here with me! 

- Mayuri
