This pandemic has triggered what has been described as a “sanitary pad crisis” in India. Priya, a 14-year-old schoolgirl, considers herself lucky: her parents can still afford pads. But several of her friends will have to go without. In some parts of India, schools are a critical part of the supply chain, providing a pack of pads to girls each month. With them closed, along with other supply chain issues, as few as 15% of girls had access to sanitary pads during the lockdown.
YEF realised the alarming situation of women residing in the slums. Due to lack of awareness and poor financial situation they use many harmful traditional ways for their personal hygiene. Sanitary Pads is a very essential need and poor women are neither able to get or nor afford them. It puts their health and dignity both at huge risk.
Aiming and planning to spread awareness & distribute 5 lac sanitary pads by the end of this year.
This pandemic has taken a toll on all of us but has hit the weaker sections the worst. Take a second and count your blessings.
