The event took place in the form of a rage room, where over 200 enthusiastic young women participated in shattering societal taboos related to them written clay plates that could be broken. Among the participants were students, professionals, and influencers eager to challenge prevailing social stigmas.
The event had a symbolic wall adorned with taboos commonly associated with women, such as "Must be a girl driver," "Periods are dirty," "Women cannot enter the kitchen during periods," and "Women should have kids before 30." There were also terracotta utensils such as plates, glasses, and jugs, each adorned with similar taboo messages.
Participants were encouraged to channel their frustration and defiance by physically breaking these taboos by throwing them on the "Wall of Taboos". With each shatter of a plate against the wall, they symbolically dismantled societal norms that have long held women back.

Through initiatives like 'Breaking Taboos,' we aim to empower women to reject stereotypes and embrace their true potential."

Sirona Hygiene remains committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity, empowerment, and equality for women. By challenging taboos and promoting open dialogue, the organisation continues to pave the way for a more progressive and equitable society.
