Transformative Spectacle in Gangtok: Period Fest and Pad Yatra Revolutionize Menstrual Health Awareness

In an unprecedented alliance, Menstrual Health and Awareness Day on February 5 witnessed a groundbreaking spectacle in Gangtok. The Government of Sikkim's Education Department partnered with the Delhi-based organization Sachhi Saheli, a strong advocate for menstrual health since 2016. Dedicated to empowering adolescents with knowledge on Menstrual Health & Hygiene and breaking the silence and stigma around periods, they co-led a transformative event – "Period Fest" and "Pad Yatra." The Education Department of Sikkim has long prioritized menstrual health, exemplified by initiatives like the "Bahini Scheme," providing free sanitary pads to girls from class 9th to 12th. This progressive step not only opens up the conversation around menstrual health but also recognizes the significance of ensuring access to sanitary pads, a crucial factor in reducing school dropouts.

The event has the dynamic "Pad Yatra," a spirited rally featuring over 550 students from 11 government schools. Flagged off by Ms. Chimmi Donka Denzongpa, Joint Director( DEO) The march was taken out from Manan Kendra to Zero point, symbolizing a collective voice against the pervasive silence and taboos surrounding menstruation. Infusing a musical rhythm, the award winning girl band from Govt. Sr Sec School, Deorali, added vibrancy to the yatra, amplifying the call for normalizing conversations around periods. The yatra's primary focus was to sensitize the masses and liberate participants, emphasizing the importance of breaking silence around menstruation.
At the heart of the event, in Manan Kendra, Sikkim’s groundbreaking "Period Fest" unfolded, graced by Chief Guest Ms. Sumita Pradhan, Education Secretary, Department of Education (Govt. of Sikkim), and guest of honor Mr. Sonam Denzongpa, along with Special Guest Mr. Abhijeet R Patil and officials from various government departments. The fest strategically aimed at dismantling societal barriers and fostering mass awareness to destigmatize this natural biological process. Government officials demonstrated robust support for the cause, as Mr. Abhijeet Patel shared his initial reservations, later expressing astonishment at the diverse significance of periods, inspired by his wife's encouragement. He remarked that the event provided him insights into various aspects of periods. Ms. Sumita Pradhan underscored the importance of periods as a signal of readiness for pregnancy, emphasizing the necessity for accurate knowledge among girls. She added that initiatives like the Bahini Scheme aim to ensure that girls don't compromise their education and stressed the importance of proper hygiene materials. Ms. Pradhan highlighted that the fest serves as a platform to promote awareness on a large scale.
Dr. Surbhi Singh, President of Sachhi Saheli, added her invaluable expertise, stating, "Periods are nothing to be scared and ashamed of; if girls do not have periods, the whole human existence will be stopped, and we will become extinct like dinosaurs." Her storytelling approach proved motivating for students, conveying that periods are not impure, echoing the rallying cry "abpatachalnedo." "The Period Fest" showcased meticulously designed activities and games aimed at imparting knowledge about menstrual health and hygiene in an engaging format. Students expressed their commitment to the cause through thought-provoking poems dedicated to menstrual health & hygiene.
The event's highlight was Mr. Yigael Chettri from Rainbow hills welfare Association and Humsafar Trust, who provided insights on a crucial aspect often overlooked: "Not all who bleed are women." This message sensitized students and the entire community, emphasizing that menstruation is not an experience limited to women and girls but a collective experience for menstruators who need a safe space.

“सिक्किमको अस्तित्व र भविष्य रक्षाका एसडीएफ पार्टीले कुनै सम्झौता गर्ने छैन- पवन चामलिङ”

सिक्किम डेमोक्रेटिक फ्रण्ट (एसडीएफ) अध्यक्ष श्री पवन चामलिङले भने, यसपालीको चुनाउ सिक्किमका लागि अस्तित्व बचाउने अन्तिम अवसर हो। चुनाउमा सिक्किम र सिक्किमे जनताका हक, अधिकार अनि सिक्किमको अस्तित्व बचाउनका लागि एसडीएफको जीत अति आवश्यक छ। चुनाउमा एसडीएफको जीत भयो भने मात्र सिक्किम र सिक्किमे जनताको जीत हुनेछ। श्री चामलिङले सोमबार एसडीएफ भवनमा आयोजित केन्द्रिय कार्यकारिणी समितिको सभालाई सम्बोधन गर्दै यस्तो विचार साझा गरेका हुन्।

सभामा आफ्नो अध्यक्षीय सम्बोधन राख्दै श्री चामलिङले भने, बितेको पाँच वर्ष सिक्किम र सिक्किमेली जनताले एसकेएम सरकारमा दु:ख मात्र पाएका छन्। यी पाँच वर्ष सिक्किमका लागि कालो वर्ष बनेका छन्। एसकेएम सरकार सिक्किमे जनताको रक्षक नभएर भक्षक भएको श्री चामलिङले दाबी गरे। उनले राज्यको विकास भएको छैन, अनि विकास नहुनु भनेको भ्रष्टाचार बढ्नु हो भने। श्री चामलिङले पार्टी कार्यकर्ताहरूलाई जनतामा पुगेर एसकेएम सरकारले सिक्किम र सिक्किमे जनताको हित विपरीत के कस्ता काम गरेको छ ती सबैको खुलासा गर्न आग्रह पनि गरे।
उनले भने, एसडीएफ पार्टी सिक्किम र सिक्किमे जनताको हक हितको सुरक्षाका लागि प्रतिबद्ध छ। हामी सिक्किम र सिक्किमे जनताको हक, हितको सुरक्षामा अलिकति पनि सम्झौता गर्ने छैनौँ। श्री चामलिङले अझ भने, सिक्किमको भविष्य बचाउनका लागि, सिक्किमको अस्तित्व बचाउनका लागि अनि सिक्किम र सिक्किमेको भविष्य बचाउनका लागि म आफ्नो ज्यान दिन पनि तयार छु।

उनले अझ भने, एसकेएम सरकार आएपछि सिक्किममा विधिको शासनको अन्त भएको छ, नियम-कानुन छैन। असल प्रशासन जनताले देख्न पाएका छैनन्। सरकारमा कुनै सिस्टम छैन। राज्यभरी पीएस गोले र उनका टिममात्र देखिन्छ, उनीहरूको धम्की मात्र सुन्न पाइन्छ। जनतालाई ठुलो अन्याय भएको छ। मुख्यमन्त्री श्री गोलेको दयामा आज जनताले सास मात्र फेरिरहेका छन्।

इतिहासले दिएको जिम्मेवारीबाट हामी भाग्नु हुदैन भन्दै श्री चामलिङले आज हामी सबै मिलेर सिक्किमे जनताको दुश्मनसँग लड्नु पर्छ, भने। जनताले एक भएर सिक्किम र सिक्किमे जनताको दुश्मनलाई चिन्नुपर्छ, परास्त गर्नुपर्छ अनि सिक्किम र सिक्किमे जनतालाई सदाका लागि जिताउनुपर्छ, उनले भने।

सोमबार एसडीएफ भवनमा एसडीएफ पार्टीको केन्द्रीय कार्यकारिणी समितिको महत्त्वपूर्ण सभा अध्यक्ष श्री पवन चामलिङको अध्यक्षतामा सम्पन्न भयो। सभामा आगामी विधान सभा र लोक सभा चुनाउलाई लिएर महत्त्वपूर्ण छलफल भयो।

यस अवसरमा पार्टीको सिक्किम बचाउ अभियान गीत सिक्किमीज, जनजनमा मनमनमा पवन पार्टी अध्यक्षले लोकार्पण गर्दै सिक्किम जनतालाई समर्पण गरे। युवा मोर्चाका महासचिव श्री प्रकाश ली, मुख्य प्रवक्ता श्री एम के सुब्बा, वरिष्ठ उपाध्यक्ष श्री के टी ग्याल्छेन, वरिष्ठ उपाध्यक्ष श्री पी डी राईले सभालाई सम्बोधन गर्दै आउँदो चुनाउका लागि कार्यकर्ताहरूलाई तयार रहन आग्रह गरे।

सभाको सञ्चालन उपाध्यक्ष श्री आमोश आर लेप्चाले गरेका थिए भने प्रवक्ता सुश्री बन्दना शर्माले स्वागत सम्बोदन अनि गान्तोक जिल्ला समितिका अध्यक्ष श्री विजय प्रधानले धन्यवाद ज्ञापन दिएका थिए।
