By acknowledging and supporting menstrual health, college emphasized inclusivity, equality, and the fundamental right to access proper hygiene resources for all individuals.
Overall, sanitary pad distribution program was impactful measure that not only provided essential menstrual products to the needy, but also contributed to creating a more supportive, informative and inclusive environment.
