Menstruation is still regarded as something unclean or dirty in Indian society. The reaction to menstruation depends upon awareness and knowledge about the subject.
Menstruation and menstrual practices are still considered as taboos and socio-cultural restrictions resulting in adolescent girls remaining ignorant of the scientific facts and hygienic health practices, which sometimes result into adverse health outcomes.
Menstrual hygiene, a very important risk factor for reproductive tract infections, is a vital aspect of health education for women. I'm Urvi Arora , a social worker, working with Hamari Pahchan NGO, I've been working towards the cause of menstrual hygiene. It interests me because I want to educate people on the topic and want to help and educate underprivileged women of society to have a proper menstrual hygiene they are safe from various diseases
Thank you.
