What is Project Aparajita?
Menstrual hygiene is a fundamental right, yet millions of women in India lack access to basic period essentials. This reality inspired us to launch Project Aparajita, named after the Sanskrit word for "the undefeated one”.
Project Aparajita embodied our commitment to social responsibility. We understood the impact of period poverty – from hindering education to causing health complications. Through this project, we took action to ensure women of all ages had access to period care and knowledge of period hygiene and health.
Project Aparajita wasn't just about product distribution. It was about empowering women and fostering a society where periods were treated with normalcy and dignity.
What Project Aparajita stands for?
Empowering women through education, access, and dignity in menstruation.
Education
Shattering period myths and empowering women with knowledge.
Access
Providing access to high-quality, eco-friendly period care essentials.
Dignity
Creating a world where periods are normalized and respected.
Project Aparajita: On the Ground
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan
In line with Gandhi Jayanti and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan's mission for a cleaner India, Be Me partnered with Sustainable Stree to conduct an informative session at Jaipur's dump yard.
This initiative focused on raising awareness about the environmental impact of improper sanitary pad disposal. Participants learned about the harmful effects of non-biodegradable waste on the environment and discovered eco-friendly alternatives like Be Me's biodegradable pads. By promoting responsible disposal practices and sustainable products, Be Me actively contributes to a healthier planet and empowers women to make conscious choices for themselves and the environment.
Rural Women
Understanding the specific needs of women in rural areas, Be Me collaborated with the Jaipur Rugs Foundation to distribute biodegradable sanitary pads to over 300 women in the villages of Aspura and Divarala.
Recognizing that access to products is only one part of the solution, Be Me also conducted in-depth menstrual hygiene education sessions. These sessions empowered women with essential knowledge about their bodies, menstrual cycles, and health, while also introducing them to sustainable period care options. This holistic approach ensures a lasting positive impact on the lives of women and their communities.
Princess Diya Kumari Foundation
Be Me's 'Share the Care' campaign, in partnership with the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation, provided a safe platform for women to openly discuss menstrual health, breaking down stigma and fostering a sense of community.
The interactive session covered a wide range of topics, from general health tips and addressing common concerns to providing essential period care products. By encouraging open dialogue and creating a supportive environment, the campaign empowered women to prioritize their well-being without shame or embarrassment, promoting a positive and proactive approach to menstrual health.
Project Aparajita
Be Me is committed to providing women with safe and sustainable period care options. Our biodegradable pads are free of harmful chemicals and plastics, prioritizing both women's health and the environment.
Through Project Aparajita, Be Me, under Green Particle Biotech Limited, distributed these pads to underprivileged women, ensuring access to high-quality menstrual products. Furthermore, the project created a dedicated online community where women can find support, access educational resources, connect with each other, and share their experiences, fostering a sense of empowerment and belonging.
