Period project. A menstrual cup user herself, she participated in about 20 awareness camps, playing an instrumental role in disseminating information among the village communities about menstrual cups as a means of menstrual hygiene and menstrual waste prevention.
Delnaaz Irani, hailing from Mumbai, conceived the idea of Zero Waste. Period project aimed at reducing menstrual waste by advocating for menstrual cups.
