Understanding change, embracing growth
New Era Senior Secondary School organized an insightful session on “Changes & Courage: Embracing Your Body’s Journey” for girls of Grades 5, 6, and 7. The session was led by Shilpa Rao, Founder of Vyra Sanitary Napkins, who thoughtfully demystified the biological process of menstruation in an age-appropriate and reassuring manner.
Creating a safe and open space, the workshop addressed first-period preparedness, broke common myths, and replaced them with clear, factual understanding. Students were guided through essential self-care practices, including the proper use of sanitary napkins and the importance of hygienic disposal.
By focusing on health, hygiene, and personal well-being, the session aimed to build confidence and eliminate stigma around natural bodily changes. It empowered young learners to embrace this phase of growth with courage, awareness, and a positive mindset.
