In order to promote the use of sanitary napkins in general and Joya in particular as an essential part of menstrual hygiene management, our Kushtia Area Office organized a School Activation Program on “Reproductive Health Awareness,” “Personal Health & Hygiene” and promoted ‘Joya’ sanitary napkin to the female students. The program was held at Harinakundu Government Girls’ High School in Harinakundu Upazila under Jhenaidah district on January 28, 2020. A total of 300 female students from Class VI to Class X attended the program. It was an excellent platform to promote health education of adolescent girls. Ms. Syeda Nafisa Sultana, Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO), Harinakundu Upazila attended the program as the chief guest while Ms. Reshma Khatun, Female Vice Chairman, Harinakundu Upazila Council was the special guest. Dr. Sharmin Afrin, Medical Officer, Upazila Health Complex, Harinakundu, was the resource person. Dr. Afrin discussed elaborately on menstrual health and answered all the questions raised by the adolescent school girls. She also advised the students to use our ‘Joya’ sanitary napkin after describing its features and benefits. The UNO later distributed our Joya Sanitary Napkin among the girl students. She expressed her desire to distribute Joya Sanitary Napkin among all the female students in her Upazila. The program was very successful and the girls were very happy to gather knowledge about health and hygiene along with the ‘Joya’ sample. Mr. Md.
