Women do not use quality
sanitary napkin
Lost per adolescent school
going girl per month
due to inadequate
menstrual protection
Sanitary waste generated
from 430 Million sanitary
napkins annually
Working women miss
2.2 days of work / month
due to reproductive ill-health
Even today, a large number of adolescent girls and women do not have access to
safe
and hygienic sanitation measures during their menstruation.
High quality Sanitary Napkins as appropriate means of sanitation are
out-of-bounds as
most of the quality products are expensive for economically weaker women.
Lack of affordable access to Sanitary Napkins is the key reason for slow
adoption.
Women are forced to resort to unhygienic measures leading to ill health.
> The desired nudge to the young adolescent girls to reduce 'missing school days'
due to lack of menstrual sanitation.
> To reach out the communities to help other women to adopt effective
menstrual hygiene management practices.
