Workshop on Menstruation for Sports Coaches and Athletes
Menstruation is a not so openly talked about topic in India. It is estimated that over half of all adolescent girls have no knowledge of what is happening to their bodies during their first period, and as many as 1 in 4 girls does not attend school due to menstruation. The trend is also prevalent in the sports ecosystem. Female athletes barely open up to the topic of menstruation, especially with their counterparts and coaches. With proper knowledge of the science of menstruation, female athletes can be empowered to perform better.
​
After identifying this critical gap, Simply Sport Foundation and Project Baala have come up with a menstruation curriculum workshop that aims at:
​
1. Normalizing and understanding menstruation as a biological phenomenon.
2. Understanding the importance of period tracking.
3. Understanding the health repercussions of not understanding the body.
​
Through this educational workshop, we aim to erase the taboo surrounding the topic of menstruation, educate the stakeholders on the topic and the effects of menstruation on the athlete's body and perfomance.
