The Stigma of Menstruation
In the heart of India, amidst the vibrant tapestry of cultures and communities, a silent challenge, seldom spoken of, has been felt by countless girls and women across the nation.
It is the challenge of Menstruation
– a natural phenomenon that has held within it both power and taboo.
The canvas of India, in regard to menstruation, presents a grim actuality
In India, a significant proportion of girls and women, particularly from low-income backgrounds, face a distressing reality during menstruation. Access to something as fundamental as a sanitary pad remains a distant dream for them.
Unhygienic Methods Women
We aren’t just distributing pads,
Women in many parts of India end up using ash, banana leaves, husk, sand and/or unsanitised cloth for menstrual hygiene. Among young women aged 15-24 years, 62% use cloth for menstrual protection.
