Ravina is just 17 years old but already a change-maker who on one hand disseminates information on safe and healthy menstruation and on the other draws attention of relevant stakeholders on paucity of hygiene products for young girls. The task of reaching out becomes difficult as the resources at the rural health care centres have been diverted to pandemic related care.
