Embrace the giver
“Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only
as strong as the health of their women”
-Michelle
Obama
She loves you unconditionally without expecting anything in
return, her love is pious. An indefectible wife, a caring daughter and a
peerless homemaker, she never fails to do complete justice with her role.
A large segment of the society faces obstacles in terms of
health facilities. There is a greater need to establish health services
focusing specifically on women’s health especially in rural areas. Fear of
social stigma acts as a contributor to seal their lips and they hesitate to
reveal their problems.
Thus, they stop looking for the solution of their
botheration. They accept their illness as a part of their fate, though they
undergo extensive agony; they bear it with silence. It’s time that the society
breaks these walls; acknowledge and lend an empathizing ear to the needy, to
comfort and sustain their health.
With an admirable efforts and objective for societal
transformation and welfare “Mahila Sarvangeen Utkarsh Mandal (MASUM)” is an NGO
based in Pune. It prospects to strengthen women’s self-reliance and
consciousness. Nurtures their physical and emotional health, creates a
sustainable environment for their development as well as empowers them.
“To be able to understand their bodies is a part of their
empowerment, if you don’t know your body, you don’t know who takes control over
it. Autonomy cannot happen unless I know myself” said Dr. Manisha Gupte,
founder of MASUM.
Their initiatives are focused for the underprivileged
sections of the society and avail them with health care services for their
upliftment. MASUM trains health workers, creates awareness about diseases such
as reproductive tract infections, cervical cancer, uterine prolapse and other
gynaecological problems. They provide villagers with the facility of VIA Test
which is endorsed by WHO. This is beneficial for detection of cervical cancer at
a very minimal cost.
MASUM motivates women to unleash their gynaecological
problems and talk about it. It’s time that people come together and support
such Non-government organizations working towards the welfare of the society.
“The more you help others, the more they will want to help
you” – Brain Tracy.
Feminism begins when women start respecting their own body. Each
drop counts, you can be her blessing in disguise. Lend a helping hand to
embrace womanhood. #EmbraceTheGiver
