A JWP India initiative to address period poverty
and menstrual health in India.
- ABOUT THE INITIATIVE
Empowering Women.
Building Futures.
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.
The stigma surrounding menstruation often leads to social exclusion and discrimination against girls and women, impacting their physical and mental well-being.
Turning Awareness Into Action
Our goals focus on creating access, building awareness, and driving meaningful change so that menstrual health becomes a matter of dignity, equality, and human rights.
Distribution of free reusable and biodegradable pads
Partnering with local NGOs, schools and government agencies, we will distribute free reusable pads, to girls and women in underserved communities.
- Access to products enabling women & girls to go about their lives ensuring good health & dignity.
Awareness Sessions & Community Engagement
Organizing community events, workshops, and health camps to engage locals, gather case studies, dispel myths, and promote menstrual health dialogue.
- Improved menstrual health awareness and dialogue, dispelling myths and stigma, and fostering a supportive environment that enhances health education and rights awareness.
- Ensure access to menstrual hygiene products in schools, workplaces, and public facilities.
Creating Change That Lasts
We envision a future where every woman and girl can live with dignity, confidence, and the freedom to pursue every possibility.

Ensuring a life of dignity and endless possibility
Why Cloth Reusable Pads?
Using Cloth 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.
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.
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.
