In a country where menstrual hygiene remains a silent crisis for millions of women, Hiteshi Dutta is breaking barriers, changing narratives, and championing a nationwide mission to eliminate period poverty. Recognized among the Top 10 Chief Sustainability Officers (CSOs) in India by The CEO Magazine in 2022, Hiteshi is leading an ambitious initiative—The Suharth Shakti Campaign—to empower 1 million underprivileged women across rural, tribal, and slum areas over the next three years.

As the Founder and Force behind Suharth Foundation, Hiteshi has designed a bold and scalable solution to an issue often ignored: menstrual health and hygiene. Her campaign provides sustainable menstrual hygiene products, awareness sessions, and eco-friendly disposal solutions—ensuring dignity, health, and sustainability for women and girls in underserved communities.

A Mission Rooted in Empowerment

Through the Suharth Shakti Kits, the Foundation delivers a comprehensive menstrual health solution—comprising organic sanitary pads, menstrual cups, reusable cloth pads, and hygiene education. These kits are designed not just to address a biological need, but to promote sustainable practices and offer women freedom, confidence, and opportunity.

“Period poverty is not just a health issue—it’s a matter of gender equity, education, and environmental justice,” says Hiteshi Dutta. “Through Suharth Shakti, we are not only tackling the taboo but also creating sustainable impact in the lives of millions of women.”

Join the Movement: Right to Menstruation (RTM)

One of the core appeals of the campaign is the Right to Menstruation (RTM) initiative. For just ₹750 a year, any individual or corporate can sponsor a woman’s complete menstrual needs—providing her with year-round access to hygienic and sustainable menstrual products.

“This is not charity,” Hiteshi emphasizes, “it’s social investment—in health, dignity, and the future of women in India.”

Companies and individuals are encouraged to become part of this transformational journey by supporting the RTM initiative, contributing not only to public health but also to climate-conscious, community-led change.
