Kareena Kapoor Khan is not just making headlines for her film choices but also for her continued advocacy for children’s rights. The Bollywood star, who was appointed as UNICEF India’s National Ambassador in 2024, recently threw her support behind a groundbreaking initiative in Gujarat – Menstrual Corners in government schools.
Kareena Kapoor Khan supports Gujarat’s Menstrual Corners initiative in collaboration with UNICEF India
Taking to social media, Kareena shared powerful images from one of the schools and penned a heartfelt note saying, “Periods aren’t a problem… lack of awareness is. That’s why Gujarat’s schools now have Menstrual Corners which are safe, welcoming spaces where students learn about periods through simple & engaging tools like card games, role-play aprons, interactive models, and booklets. This game-changing initiative, developed by the government with support from @UNICEFindia, is breaking taboos and helping normalize conversations around menstruation. With over 103,000 girls and 88,000 boys already reached, it’s not just boosting awareness…it’s building confidence, dignity, and helping girls stay in school and chase their dreams… Let’s keep supporting open conversations and safe environments for every student.”
The Menstrual Corners initiative is part of a larger effort by UNICEF India and the Gujarat government to foster awareness and inclusivity in schools. These corners offer young students—girls and boys alike—a safe space to learn about menstruation through tools like role-play aprons, games, models, and booklets. So far, it has reached more than 191,000 students, helping dismantle long-standing taboos and encouraging dignity and confidence among adolescents.
Kareena’s association with UNICEF dates back several years when she was appointed a Celebrity Advocate focused on the education and development of the girl child. With UNICEF marking its 75th year in India, Kareena was elevated to the role of National Ambassador in 2024, committing to broader causes such as early childhood development, health, education, and gender equality.
While championing causes off screen, Kareena Kapoor Khan has had a packed film slate on screen too. In 2024, she was seen in Crew, The Buckingham Murders, and Singham Again. Her upcoming project Daayra will see her share the screen for the first time with Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran. Be it on screen or through social impact, the actress continues to be a voice of strength, seamlessly balancing star power with purpose.
