On the sacred occasion of Raksha Bandhan, a festival symbolizing protection, care, and love, Yash Sewa Samiti (YSS) extended the spirit of the day by protecting and honoring the dignity of women and adolescent girls in need.
Hygiene and Dignity First
Recognizing the challenges many underprivileged women face in accessing menstrual hygiene products and basic necessities, YSS distributed:
- Sanitary pads
- Dupattas and stoles
- Milk packets and rusk
These were not just items, but thoughtful gestures wrapped in love and solidarity. Each packet symbolized the promise of protection, much like the traditional rakhi itself.
More Than a Celebration
The event was a blend of festive warmth and meaningful outreach. Girls and women felt seen, celebrated, and supported—many with smiles on their faces, grateful not just for the gifts but for the respect and thoughtfulness behind them.
A Participant Shared:
“Raksha Bandhan par pehli baar laga ki humari suraksha ke baare mein bhi socha gaya hai… sirf rakhi nahi, izzat bhi mili.”
Gratitude
YSS thanks all donors and volunteers who made this special initiative possible. By standing up for women’s dignity, we honored the true essence of Raksha Bandhan—caring, sharing, and protecting.
This Rakhi, we tied the thread of dignity and health around the wrists of our sisters, ensuring they never feel alone in their journey.
