A photo-journey of IMPACT

Rangeen Khidki started working with a community of slum-dwellers in Panchanantala, a posh area of Kolkata, amidst the pandemic in 2020, to generate menstrual health awareness among the young menstruators. Our aim was to help create a safe space for the adolescents, and thereby enable them to make an informed choice about their bodies. This is a journey of this community, through the eyes of Uma (name changed). Let us follow Uma, who is here seen buying her menstruation supply.
