Environment & Hygiene Awareness Program
Empowering Girls. Protecting the Planet.
Every month, millions of sanitary pads are used and disposed of improperly — in open drains, behind buildings, flushed down toilets, or buried in soil. Most of these contain 90% plastic and take 500–800 years to decompose.
This silent crisis is damaging our environment, polluting water bodies, clogging sewage systems, and exposing sanitation workers to serious health hazards.
At Combat, we believe awareness is the key to sustainable hygiene. Our school and college programs aim to educate girls not only about menstrual hygiene but also about their role in protecting the environment.
What We Aim to Do
Our program is designed to:
Raise awareness about the environmental damage caused by plastic-based pads
Break taboos around menstruation and disposal habits
Educate girls on safe and hygienic sanitary disposal practices
Encourage adoption of eco-conscious habits using Combat Sanitary Disposal Bags
Create a generation of responsible, aware, and confident young women
What the Program Includes
Interactive Awareness Sessions
Fun, engaging talks with visual aids, real-world data, and simple science behind hygiene and waste.
Live Demo of Combat Bags

Discussion: What Happens After Disposal?
Students learn where used pads go, how they affect soil, water, air, and sanitation systems.
Q&A With Experts
Students clear doubts, ask questions, and feel safe to talk about their hygiene.
