The global COVID-19 pandemic in all its devastating impact has also adversely affected education for girls. According to a recent report by UNESCO adolescent girls (approx. 11 million) will be worst hit as 90% schools remain closed around the world. In the absence of structured education, under marginalized girls are now even more vulnerable to dropping out.

This Menstrual Hygiene day, moving forward with their #KeepGirlsInSchool movement, Whisper launched ‘Mobileshaala’, an initiative to provide free education while schools across the country remain closed. “Mobileshaala”, It is an internet-based learning system that gives free access to curriculum-based education modules on key subjects like English, Science and menstrual hygiene education. .be" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DaNBb-mvU4c4%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&source=gmail&ust=1590820053020000&usg=AFQjCNGT7xwSyypctf4uuHCEr_vx10KBuQ">Watch this video to learn more about this initiative.
