Peringati Hari Remaja Internasional lewat Edukasi Kesehatan Reproduksi di SLB Tuna Rungu
Dalam rangka memperingati Hari Remaja Internasional pada 12 Agustus, Unicharm berkolaborasi dengan Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Karawang menyelenggarakan edukasi kesehatan menstruasi dan kebersihan diri bertajuk 'Love Your Possibilities : We Can!' di SLB B Tunas Harapan Karawang untuk puluhan siswi tuna rungu. Kegiatan ini dikemas secara interaktif dengan alat bantu visual, media bergambar, dan penerjemah bahasa isyarat guna memastikan akses edukasi kesehatan reproduksi bagi remaja putri penyandang disabilitas yang masih menghadapi keterbatasan, mengingat lebih dari 75% anak disabilitas belum mendapat pendidikan memadai menurut data BPS 2020. Kolaborasi antara pemerintah daerah dan sektor swasta ini menjadi langkah konkret untuk memenuhi hak reproduksi perempuan penyandang disabilitas yang dijamin dalam UU No. 8/2016, agar tidak ada remaja putri yang tertinggal dari informasi kesehatan dasar.
