On a global level, at least 500 million women and girls lack adequate facilities for menstrual hygiene management. More than 77% of menstruating women in India use an old cloth, which is often reused, ashes, newspapers, dried leaves and husk sand during periods.
Lack of knowledge as to how one should maintain their hygiene during menstruation can cause problems with long term effects. Underprivileged women who do not have access, means or the knowledge regarding the same suffer during these hard times and hence the TABOO remains.
I'm Aaradhya Aggarwal, who aspire to be a social worker, and for that I have started to work with Hamari Pahchan NGO, I want to work towards the cause of menstrual hygiene as the population of India in many locations is still unaware of the menstrual hygiene which is a big may become a big cause for many other problems. I wish to educate people on the topic. I want the underprivileged women of society to have a proper menstrual hygiene so that there are no long-term effects, they don't get affected by skin diseases etc.
