Feedback Round 1

It is good to have a place for women to experience periods. However, a museum might create a barrier as women might be ashamed to enter. Women are going to need a nudge to enter the museum and even use the tracker.

Having a nurse as a facilitator is a good idea. However, could it be someone interacting with women already for eg, ASHA or Anganwadi (day care) workers? Could this be converted to a workshop or pop-style to make it more accessible?

At the initial stage, it is ok if people do not visit the hospital. Communication cards are good cues for women to use. As confirmed by one doctor, a physical period tracker is an extremely useful tool. It does not have to be extremely complicated, just pain, flow and duration are enough. This will be enough to notice if there is a problem and once they go to the hospital, a complete examination will be provided by the doctor.
