Dhaka: Renowned celebrities Nusrat Imrose Tisha and Chanchal Chowdhury are now ambassadors of the ‘Ritu’ project which is working to spread public health awareness on menstruation.

As part of this coalition with Ritu, the actors will be seen in many awareness campaigns under the project, reports the UNB.

Recently, the duo worked on a television advertisement for Ritu set to be broadcasted in various national TV channels.

To spread further awareness through print media, they will also be seen in a newspaper ad themed on menstruation topics.

The main aim of the media discourse is to sensitise the public on the subject of menstruation as something ‘normal and natural’.

Since 2016, the Ritu project, funded by the Embassy of the Kingdom of Netherlands, has been working to improve the situation of menstrual health and its management in Bangladesh.
