"A New Approach to Menstrual Health" is a project aimed at addressing the ongoing issues surrounding menstruation, particularly the misinformation, and lack of resources that affect teenage girls in middle to lower-income families who have limited education and face social stigma around menstrual health.

The initiative seeks to create a comprehensive, accessible, and trustworthy ecosystem that empowers young girls to manage their menstrual health confidently. By integrating educational resources, innovative products, and digital tools, this initiative hopes to break barriers and foster open dialogue. To tackle these challenges, the solution focuses on a digital platform called "Pink Panthers", which offers interactive education and guided healthcare navigation to improve menstrual health access and literacy for teens.

This service is meant to be integrated in schools, since this is a crucial environment for teens and overall impacts their knowledge and development going forward. It also involves parents as important stakeholders, since our approach is to provide education not only to the main user but also the important figures that surround them.  Our initiative focuses on both child and guardian, in a way that keeps the privacy and comfort of the teen, but also ensures that parents are better equipped to deal with these topics.
