Hyderabad, March 23, 2022: Good Universe – a society to foster sensitivity and awareness on menstrual hygiene and women’s sexual reproductive health, hosted a global virtual walk Good Walk, Ek Kadam Ek Pehal- 2022, commemorating the International Women’s Month, today. Over 1500 participants from across the globe, including students, activists, professionals, changemakers, influencers and celebrities took part of the walk. Some prominent social influencers included Smt. C Anasuya, DCP, Women and Child Safety Cyberabad; Kathy Walkling, Co-Founder of Eco Femme; Dr Manjula Anagani, Padmashee Awardee, Clinical Director & HOD, OB-GYn, Care Hospital; Mr Indraneel Mujumdar, Head at Sarath City Mall; Mr Viveeck Verma, Advisor; Ms Harini Madhira, Founder Cisne Events; Ms Pratyusha Sharma, Joint secretary, Society for Cyberabad Security Council; Mr Bharani Kumar Aroll, President, Hysea; Ms Kalpana Ramesh and Mr Ramesh Loganathan among Ms Hansika Thayal, Finalist Mrs. Universe, joined as a Catalyst. The objective of the walk was to initiate dialogue around menstrual hygiene considered to be a social taboo, to curb the looming environmental disaster of plastic base pads ending up in landfills and save the money spent on single used pads, for the welfare of marginalized communities. This initiative of Good Universe is co-hosted by Badlaav Foundation, powered by Sayfty, supported by Society for Cyberabad Security Council, Silicon Labs & Blue Yonder. 

Menstrual hygiene continues to be a cause for grave concern in India. 36% Of the country’s population are menstruators, however only 3% of the rural women use sanitary napkins and an alarming 52% do not use hygienic menstrual products. The situation becomes grim as 70% of the mothers perceive menstruation to be impure and is a taboo topic in homes, schools, colleges, and public places. Nearly 23 million girls dropping out of school annually due to lack of proper sanitation facilities, compounds the problem further.
