Wings of Hope
A JWP initiative to address period
poverty and menstrual health inequality in India.
Wings of Hope is a nationwide initiative initiated by Joint Women’s Programme(JWP) to address period poverty and menstrual health inequality in India. With over 23 million girls dropping out of school annually due to lack of menstrual hygiene facilities, this campaign aims to educate, empower, and equip women & girls to manage their menstrual health with dignity and confidence.

Why Cotton Reusable Pads?
Using cotton reusable pads for this campaign is a strategic choice for their environmental, health, and social benefits. Unlike disposables, they are biodegradable, chemical-free, cost-effective, and align with eco-friendly and feminist values, promoting sustainability, accessibility, and empowerment.

Us
Periods should never silence a voice, end an education, or deny dignity. At JWP, we are not just handing out pads we are breaking cycles of shame, ignorance, and inequality.
We call on individuals, grassroots groups, institutions, and allies to stand with us. This is more than hygiene, it's a human rights issue.
Together, let's fight for menstrual equity and justice, because no one should be left behind for bleeding.
Periods Should Not Pause Potential
Menstruation should never be a barrier to a girl's education, dreams, or dignity. With the right support and awareness, every girl can thrive—no matter the time of the month.
