Project Description | In India, the Menstruation issue revolves around inadequate awareness, adaptation, and access to hygienic menstrual products among a significant female population. A critical concern lies in the deficient knowledge and awareness about menstruation among girls, with a study revealing that 71% are unaware before their first period. This ignorance leads to shame, fear, and distress during their initial menstruation experience. Unfortunately, mothers and extended family members often contribute to this dilemma, as 70% view menstruation as "unclean," perpetuating taboos. Moreover, girls lack consistent access to preferred, quality menstrual hygiene management (MHM) products. Consequently, about 88% resort to unsanitary alternatives like old cloth, rags, hay, sand, or ash. | ||||||
