This is Pravin Nikam, and he is breaking the taboo around menstrual health in India.
Pravin founded NGO Roshni when he was just 18 years old. He was inspired after meeting a girl, called Roshni, who didn't go to school during her periods. Pravin's project helps to generate discussion and dispel myths on menstruation.
"For me, it was a state of emergency that this exists in our society... a life of a girl is impacted and I don't understand why something as natural as breathing is kept a secret from boys and girls"
