Webinars

As part of our #periodofchange campaign, we hosted webinars or online panel discussions on google wherein different experts from the field of menstruation, sustainability and waste management joined to provide a perspective on the our five themes. These are critical events since a campaign centered around menstrual waste from the sustainability point of view has never looked at. We are deeply interested in hearing your opinions, suggestions and feedback regarding this very novel campaign. If you have anything to say to us, please write to thekachraproject@gmail.com

Here’s the webinar details:

Online webinars are part of Period Of Change, a 5-week campaign organized by The Kachra Project along with Earth&us that aims to mobilize people (both men and women) around menstrual waste as a starting point to lobby for change in current practices in MH waste management.

Sign the petition to amend Draft Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2015  referred to as MSW Rules 2015 be amended for proper management of absorbent hygiene product waste (which includes menstrual hygiene waste).
