Over 800 million women and girls menstruate every day, but across the globe, they face obstacles to handling their periods properly.
Social stigmas and taboos around menstruation often discourage women and girls from attending work and school.
In India, people are still unaware of menstrual hygiene products, lack of sanitation infrastructure such as private toilets, handwashing facilities, and most important there are still girls and women who get no education about menstrual until they get their first periods.
About Menstrual Hygiene Day –
Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is held on 28 May to raise awareness of the problems women and girls face around the world as a result of their menstruation and to highlight solutions to these challenges.
Their Vision is to create a world in which every woman and girl is empowered to treat her menstruation comfortably, hygienically, peacefully, and without shame, where no woman or girl is bound by something as natural and normal as her time.
