‘Green the Red’ Campaign gets Huge Response on Int’l Women’s Day

I

n the spirit of Women's Day, awareness sessions were conducted on sustainable menstruation sessions in many workplaces and will continue in the days to come. The campaign "GREEN THE RED" is an attempt to make menstruation practices more eco-friendly.

Today as the world celebrated the ‘International Women's Day’ with conferences, gatherings, rallies, festivals, a group of women in Bengaluru, who are part of a campaign called 'Green the Red', decided to raise awareness on a topic that is hardly spoken about - 'Sustainable Menstruation'.

If menstruation is what sustains human life, isn't it ironic that the most popular products of menstrual hygiene are unsustainable?

The last few years has seen some progress towards breaking the silence around menstruation, moving it from the taboo that it is to the public sphere in India. Government, NGOs and corporates are providing free disposable sanitary napkins, installing small scale incinerators- leading women to associate progress and modernity with the use of disposable pad.

The industry would like to tap the untapped market of 300 million menstruating women in India. But the potential impact of this, in a country like ours, with poor waste disposable systems, is an environ-

T

mental disaster of proportions alarming enough to merit urgent action. It is in this context that “sustainable menstruation” is becoming relevant.

Sustainable Menstruation is about using menstrual hygiene products that are safer for our bodies, safe for the environment and do not endanger the health and lives of those working in the waste management sector.

These products are available in the Indian market, but not many know about their existence.

On occasion of the International Women's Day, the ‘Green the Red’ campaign, decided to take the bull by the horns and educate women at work places about this new-age menstrual hygiene products that are comfortable, environmentally sustainable and economical in the long run. This team has conducted sessions in corporates, apartment communities, schools, hospitals setting up outreach stalls at

Women's Day events in Bengaluru.

The response that it has received ranges from curiosity to disbelief to a thirst to know more, as they talk to women about the impact of the disposables on our health, our bodies, on the waste pickers, sanitation workers and proceed to demonstrate the menstrual cup and cloth pads.

The team has spoken to women about the impact of the disposables on our health, our bodies, on the waste pickers, sanitation workers. The campaign has displayed and demonstrated the usage of menstrual cup and cloth pads showing the samples of cloth pads, cloth diapers and menstrual cups of different brands.

Posters and banners sponsored by the Karnataka Pollution Control Board have been displayed for publicity and awareness. Queries/concerns from the audience were addressed; shared a few personal experiences using the

products. If people support the cause and pledge to switch to re-usables and spread the word, then they are asked to pose with the team with a bindi – a red bindi with a green dot, symbolizing ‘Green the Red’. Women wear it on their forehead and men on their hands. As many organizations celebrate Women’s Day on different days in March, ‘Green the Red’ is planned as a month-long campaign.

Sessions have been going on since March 2, sessions are planned in March third week as well. However March 8, was a power-packed day with a lot of events around the city.

Residents Speak

Maintenance of Minimum Balance in SBI would be a Burden

Dear Editor, Many people are still to recover from the effect from demonetization. Here comes another thunder! A jolt from the blue! The recent and sudden announcement that, with effect from April 1, 2017, a minimum balance of Rs. 5,000/will have to be maintained in all savings bank accounts has come as a shocker to many of us.

The public is still suffering post demonetization and this only shall add more woes to their already existing ones. The Reserve Bank of India will have to ensure that such measures are stopped and the announcements taken back, for the poor shall still suffer a lot.

From where shall we outsource that money to keep the minimum balance?

International Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day-Give the Right of Work to them

I

n India we have the best of resources; our farmers work very hard, the women folk travel to city to work in the Industry for a nominal compensation. At the end of the day, they need to travel to reach home, then attend to all domestic work, care for the children, the husband and the parents, doing their daily chores.

When compared to their hard work throughout the day, earnings are insufficient to live satisfactorily. The large family is always in trouble either with the money lender or with the market agent.

Further, all the farmers of the village cultivate the same crop with the result the yield becomes surplus and may not get the right price. Sometimes the crops fail and to avoid the money lender the farmers succumb to the ultimate, leaving behind a wife, the children and the parents. This scenario is becoming more common in almost all the villages.

Today, women are losing their respect to the mighty and the muscle and are

helpless. All that we read in the papers are only a few instances but those that are not reported are in plenty.

More than anything else, we need education, at all levels including the farmers. Each farmer today is unable to take the decision of what to grow in his farming area? He is obsessed or even compelled to grow some crop which the money lender tells him.

There are instances where the rural women are beaten in the open street

Website: www.gardencityplus.com

because her husband did not return the money.

It is just pathetic. Is there any end to the agony of the women be it rural or urban, all of us are aware of these happenings. If they have a small business to help the family, if they cannot fight back, at least they can avoid the embarrassment. The time has arrived to help the womenfolk to take up small entrepreneurship to earn money to maintain the family. It

is time to make them understand that women can do better. This could have been done earlier, but better late than never.

Briefly, small jobs should be given to them in which they are familiar with, and without investment, yet they are accepted as partners/share holders and are entitled for profit apart from their monthly earnings. Thus building a source for their earnings, an attitude of positive thoughts , a motivation to perform, dedication to increase revenue for a satisfactory living, an opportunity to be an entrepreneur and finally a hope for their children to education, is what is ultimately achieved.

Without diverting them to learn new things but, asking them to use their potentials to perform, instead of working in the manufacturing places they can be using their own talent and skill in food processing and packing, Fruits & vegetable- packing and marketing, Rice and doll packing and marketing and finally supply pure ghee to name a few, should be a right

step forward.

Also, clean and well dressed women can help in various activities in an event or even take over the arrangement of a wedding. The requirement for those women who want to convert their potential to performance is just their talent and skill, hard work, dedication and determination and most importantly a positive attitude that success is assured.

How can we help? Explain the business opportunity though Gram Panchayath, if necessary, or organize a public meeting with the Collector to build awareness to rural women.

Make small batches and make them understand their own work and participation in this program or Citizens Forums could take initiatives.

This way, opportunities can be created and provided to Sub Urban and Rural women for them to lead a normal life with their own right to work in their own space and will without any burden and finally achieving what would cost a fortune â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Peace and Happiness.

t is a known fact that selling of tobacco and its products is banned in the vicinity of any educational institution. In spite of this, there are quite a few offenders still, who continue to sell these not only to the passersby and adults, but they try to woo the students in purchasing. This leads to addiction at the tender age and resulting in a serious health problem and ailment which could not perhaps be treated and lead to be a fatal one at that.

Recently, on March 5, in one of the social networking sites, a resident casually happened to mention this after capturing the retail outlet on his camera and uploaded the photographs.

This was only to inform people to be aware of such outlets. But, in the same group belonged a cop from HSR Police Station, Mr. Umesh N T, a Police Constable.

As a duty bound policeman, he reacted by asking the resident to officially lodge a complaint registered with the BBMP and that he would

ome fraudsters rely on the internet to commit their crimes. Online fraud is one among those crimes. Fraudsters will hack one’s personal data, banking data, e-account and many more.

Fraudsters create a website which is almost similar to the original website and post creating a website, fraudsters will send an email about the website through offers, which tends a purchaser to click on the offer and purchase a product. As process towards purchasing a product begins, certain details related to bank accounts for payment are furnished and the transaction gets completed and the customer is the most satisfied person thinking he has got a good deal for the product purchased.

Now that the banking details are now with fraudsters they will start hacking the banking account and transfer

funds from the purchaser’s account within few minutes of time. This may sound redundant; but the fact is that the number of such cases is on the rise and hence it is left to the individual to safeguard his account without any loss incurred due to sheer negligence and repent later.
