Dear Humsafar,

First of all, thanks for joining me on this journey to make Menstrual Hygiene Management part of School Curriculum. Your signature has been very precious not only for the campaign, but also in letting me know that I am on the right track and not alone on this journey.

As for the update, thanks to your support, the petition now has 1,051 signatures and counting! Considering the petition was hard launched on Dec 10th, crossing 1k within 10 days is no small feat. 

I am in conversation with allies and experts and have to now come up with a case paper to present to my DMs. 

At times, it does look like an uphill task but reading the comments on the petition and talking to girls has given me strength and made my resolve of pursuing MHM in School Curriculum stronger.

No time to rest! Requesting your continued support. Do keep sharing and amplifying the petition so it reaches a wider audience and the DMs at the highest level. Let's make this a movement and a mission for our girls to say #ByeByePeriodTrauma .

Counting on your support,

Your Sakhi,

Shanthala.
