Episode #3 : Butterfly Effect | Breaking Menstrual Taboos | Ananya Malde | Big On Small Talk

Welcome to the third episode of our inspiring series, "The Butterfly Effect!"

Small actions, big impact—where every choice matters.

This week, we spotlight a young changemaker who is rewriting the narrative on menstrual health and education: Ananya Malde.

At just a high school student, Ananya identified a critical issue faced by women in rural Gujarat— a lack of awareness, resources, and dignity surrounding menstruation. In this powerful episode hosted by Manav Subodh, we delve into how her determination sparked a transformation. Ananya conducted seminars that turned embarrassment into empowerment. Girls and women who once hesitated to ask questions now stand confident and informed about their health. She raised over $7,600, providing 10,000 decomposable sanitary napkins for safe and eco-friendly menstruation. Installed incinerators to ensure proper disposal, combining menstrual health with environmental care. Her incredible efforts culminated in being invited to share her story at the 7th 1M1B Activate Impact Summit at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

Join us as Ananya shares her inspiring journey—how she overcame challenges, smashed stigmas, and transformed the lives of countless women. Her story is proof that small steps can create monumental waves of change.
