New Delhi, [India], October 8, 2024: Parnika India, a distinguished leader in the manufacturing and global export of exquisite women’s ethnic wear has taken a significant step towards supporting women’s health and empowerment by launching a menstrual hygiene awareness drive. The initiative is designed to address the widespread challenges of menstrual hygiene, particularly in rural and underprivileged communities where access to affordable and hygienic sanitary products remains a critical issue.
As part of this campaign, Parnika India is offering customers who make purchases of ₹20,000 or more a unique opportunity to directly contribute to this cause. With every such purchase, customers receive 15 sustainable sanitary pads, which they are encouraged to distribute to women and girls from underserved areas. This initiative not only provides much-needed sanitary products but also empowers Parnika’s customers to become advocates for menstrual hygiene and break down the taboos associated with menstruation.

With this awareness drive, we are stepping up to address this critical challenge by providing sustainable sanitary products and raising awareness about menstrual hygiene.”
The initiative has already made a considerable impact, with nearly 500,000 sanitary napkins distributed so far. By engaging both their customers and communities, Parnika India hopes to spark a larger movement toward improving menstrual health and reducing the stigma surrounding it.
