Final Major Project 2020 | Ruchika Karnani

Learnings and Insights Apart from the feedback on the training programe and experiential tools, the researcher learned two crucial things: 1) Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA workers) are a good entry point into the community. They already have access to women and can identify their pain points. As they too live in slums with these women, it will not be seen as an intrusion. 3) Nudge- In order to get people on board the service will need incentives and behavioural nudges. This will also help to break the barrier of shame and stigma around menstruation
