Dear readers

I am Aashdeep kaur , a law student keen to help unprivileged women through supporting the NGo's main fundraiser to contribute towards women health.

Women rights and their reproductive health is a concern that used to be neglected too much and even today women are fighting for their basic rights and for living a life of dignity.  Women face so many challenges right from their birth where they are treated differently or often unequally based on their gender and it hampers their growth.

Stigma around menstruation and no accessibility of menstrual products is one of the biggest problems faced by women. Cost of menstrual products often restricts women form buying them. Pink tax is the main reason why women have to resort to low quality products and ignore their hygiene. Instead of waiting for the law to change and removal of taxes , women needs to be provided with cheaper sanitary kits and employment opportunities so that they are able to buy such basic necessities for themselves.
Furthermore, not only women from rural areas have such difficult access to these products but also women living in brothels especially G.B. road are not considered as humans who need to maintain personal hygiene and access to sanitary kits.
The project ‘Pad making machine’ is a great initiative which will help women to get sanitary kits and also the means to afford them. This will provide them the opportunity to earn a living by making eco-friendly bags. Such underprivileged women need such projects which can distribute free sanitary kits and help them live a healthy life.
Many privileged people like me can come forward and help these women. Even small amounts can help to contribute to this noble cause.
