Solan, May 29
Sachkhand Foundation, a students led voluntary organisation which runs on the motto of ‘Sarbad Da Bhala’, organised a unique period cramps experiencing workshop for men in Shoolini University campus on Saturday.
The workshop named ‘Aziyat’, used a menstrual cramp simulator which connects to the surface of the human skin and uses electrical signals to cause pain similar to cramps during periods. It gave a realistic experience on how a woman feels during the periods.
Ravijot and Gurjot from Sachkhand Foundation were the head volunteers from the New Delhi based foundation which was formed by two boys during the second wave of covid. The foundation currently has the support of more than 2000 volunteers.
The foundation collaborated with The Red Taboo Club which was led by Gunjan, Anushka, Mrinalini and Kanishka from Shoolini University and is currently headed by Dr. Nitika and Dr. Prachi.
More than 80 Shoolinians took the step to experience the pain of the cramps. “It was once in a lifetime experience of how a women feel when she is in her period days.” said by Yash, a student who experienced the pain caused by cramps at the workshop.
Director e-learning, Dr Aashoo Khosla said that the camp provided a valuable experience to the male students who were sensitised to the pain faced by females during periods.
A sanitary pad vending machine was also inaugurated and more such machines are likely to be placed in various girls hostels and toilets.
