Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 28: Marking Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026 and this year's global theme, "Together for a #PeriodFriendlyWorld," Ujaas -- an initiative of the Aditya Birla Education Trust founded by Advaitesha Birla -- partnered with Central Railway Mumbai to drive a public awareness initiative at Mumbai's iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). As part of the initiative, the CSMT heritage building was illuminated in red to reinforce the message that menstrual hygiene management is a right, not a privilege. The activation also featured a series of interactive public engagement activities designed to encourage open conversations around menstruation, challenge stigma and myths, and build greater awareness around menstrual hygiene management.
