The Uninhibited is excited to announce The Period Fellowship 2022-2024.
The Uninhibited is a social enterprise based out of Bangalore working towards a vision of making menstruation a non-issue in low income and marginalised communities across India. We believe in de-stigmatising menstrual, sexual and reproductive health starting with an individual, household and eventually community to enable marginalised menstruators to seek healthcare, advocate for their needs and participate equitably in school, workplaces and society, eventually leading to reduced gender inequity and better health and wellbeing.
We’re looking for women* applicants who are passionate about Gender Equity and Menstrual, Sexual and Reproductive Health to join The Period Fellowship – an immersive fellowship programme.
The Period Fellowship (TPF) is a leadership journey where Period Fellows are capacitated to scale our District Engagement Model and grow into the future menstrual health leaders.
The objective of this fellowship is to make Menstruation a non-issue by breaking the silence and the social stigma surrounding it.
This is a paid 24-month full-time leadership journey designed to nurture future leaders in the menstrual health ecosystem and reduce gender inequity in the most marginalised communities across India.
The Period Fellowship 2022 will bring together 18 young, dynamic individuals from diverse backgrounds to create awareness on menstrual, sexual and reproductive health among Menstruators in the rural communites of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. Since 2014, we’ve reached almost 203,540 adult and adolescent menstruators in the marginalised communities across ten states and aim to reach 1.8 million people in rural communities across India and other developing countries by 2027.
