Our History

After several instances of seeing girls ill-informed and ashamed of their Menstrual cycles, Anvi Ahuja

OUR HISTORY

After several instances of seeing girls ill-informed and ashamed of their Menstrual cycles, Anvi Ahuja, a high school student from Panipat, decided to take a stand against these beliefs that ​have put a limit on girls potential for centuries. After getting inspired by the famous TEDxTalk by Mrs. Aditi Gupta, Founder of Menstrupedia and taking the stage at TEDxDelhi to voice her views on the matter, she took on the journey to change the narrative about Menstruation in the Indian society. She single-handedly started conducting workshops in Haryana and Delhi and later got joined by driven youngsters from across the country. The urge to take a stand has made Nazariya reach out to over 3,400 students across 5 states in India.
