PERIOD BOL is Pinkishe Foundation’s India-centric menstrual education training toolkit, created to close the knowledge gap that millions of girls, women, and even boys face around menstruation. Shaped by the learnings of 3,500+ workshops across 30 states and UTs, the program goes beyond products and hygiene — it addresses emotions, myths, stigma, and cultural context. Designed with age-appropriate modules for schoolgirls, mothers, communities, and aspiring trainers, PERIOD BOL equips educators with practical, time-friendly, and culturally sensitive tools. The program empowers individuals and institutions to normalize conversations on periods, build confidence, and create inclusive, period-positive environments.
The theory of change for PERIOD BOL is built on the belief that lasting transformation in menstrual health can only happen when knowledge travels beyond paper and reaches communities. By equipping educators, mothers, students, and volunteers with practical, India-centric training materials, we create a ripple effect of awareness that touches schools, homes, and workplaces. Instead of focusing only on products, PERIOD BOL addresses myths, stigma, and cultural taboos while offering simple, structured tools for confident menstrual education. This approach not only improves menstrual hygiene practices but also builds empowered voices that normalize period conversations for generations to come.

I'm Asha Chauhan, an educationist, teacher trainer, writer, and social worker. I am immensely delighted and privileged to be associated with the Pinkishe Organisation as a Menstrual Educator. Pinkishe, an extremely committed and passionate group, has provided me with a platform to reach out, connect, and educate girls and women of different strata of society. I regularly conduct menstrual training sessions with a scientific approach and empathetic attitude to break taboos, provide accurate and relevant information about periods, and promote menstrual hygiene practices. My association with this wonderful group has broadened my outlook. I feel gratified and happy to get fully immersed and absorbed into joyful productivity.

Menstrual Educator
I'm Rajrani Sharma, a teacher with the Basic Education Department in Meerut. Six years ago, I joined Pinkishe Foundation, driven by a concern I observed in our schools: the lower attendance of girls, largely due to menstrual issues. Since becoming a part of Pinkishe, I've witnessed and contributed to remarkable efforts in improving menstrual health awareness among schoolgirls. Today, I'm proud to see a significant increase in the number of girls attending school and a heightened awareness among them about menstrual health. Being part of Pinkishe and its impactful work fills me with pride.

Namaskar, my name is Anita Yadav, and I am working as a menstrual educator with Pinkishe in Greater Noida. Over the last 3-4 months, we have seen significant changes in these villages. Initially, when we conducted sessions, only elderly women would attend. But now, daughters and daughters-in-law are also participating. Previously, women used to feel embarrassed, covering their faces with veils, but now they are laughing openly and confidently answering our questions without hesitation. Their mindset is changing; they now say they are not ashamed anymore. Their daughters are going to colleges and schools, and they want to live freely and achieve their dreams. We started this initiative with Pinkishe Foundation, and it feels like it will be successful. Earlier, women did not keep track of their period dates, leading to unwanted pregnancies, but now they are paying attention to it. So, thank you Pinkishe Foundation for starting this initiative.
