She has taken up many causes which aim at improving the lives of women and children. But, her major focus is towards passing the torch of self-awareness and self-love through positive and motivating discussions on female health and menstrual hygiene. It has been because of her drive to encourage women to freely talk about menstrual hygiene that she has been appointed as the Menstrual Hygiene Management Ambassador for the Gramalaya & Carevanta Foundation.
Currently pursuing Graduation from the Delhi University, she has been tirelessly working towards all her goals, which are aimed at the betterment of society and the world. Mavayna has now conceptualized the idea of PADYATRA, which is going to be the world's first and longest walk of its kind. Through PADYATRA, she aims at making the talks on menstrual hygiene a part of the mainstream discussion among women and girls, specifically coming from the weaker economic sections of the society.
Taking the world's first and longest journey (yatra), titled "Pad-Yatra", is to soon begin a country-wide awareness about the Demon, for Menstrual Hygiene and women empowerment for poor, mavayna firmly believes in passing the torch of self-awareness and self-love through positive and encouraging talks on female health and menstrual hygiene.
she sincerely hopes that the youth, across regional and linguistic divides would join forces along with her team and help in removing the taboo surrounding periods and hence lead to open talks and discussions on female hygiene.
She had to fight misogyny, stereotypes, and cognitive dissonance to get where she is today. Her life is an example that when life throws lemons at you, better make some lemonades!
