AKSHAY KUMAR LENDS HIS SUPPORT TO #18to82 CAMPAIGN UNDER “NIINE MOVEMENT”

‘Pad Man’ Akshay Kumar lending his support to a nationwide campaign -  #18to82 – with the aim of bridging the gap between the 18% of menstruating females in India who use sanitary napkins, and the 82% predominantly engaging in unhygienic practices.

The pioneering campaign launches ahead of the inauguration of the Niine Movement, an ambitious new initiative aimed at raising awareness of menstrual hygiene and tackling the age-old stigma against menstruation across both genders and all age groups. Akshay Kumar took to social media to support the #18to82 campaign with the message:

Speaking about his support for the Niine Movement, Akshay Kumar said: "Open and unafraid conversations on menstruation are powerful as they help to breakdown taboos. I am honoured to support the Niine Movement with the launch of the #18to82 campaign, because menstrual hygiene is an urgent issue that we must resolve in India.

Together we can ensure that every female has the right to manage her period safely and with dignity, and the Niine Movement can drive the social revolution that India needs to initiate change for an entire country. The empowerment of women is the empowerment of a nation."

Great Job, Akshay and kudos for taking up such steps.
