MENSTRUAL HYGIENE MATTERS
On 14th March, 2020, we organised a sanitary pad distribution event for the underprivileged girls and women at Tala Park slum area in Paikpara.
Female menstruation is still considered a social taboo
At any given time, girls and women across India cannot afford sanitary napkins. Instead they use cloth, grass, newspapers and other unhygienic materials that increase their risk of contracting infections. It is estimated that over 80% of all women in India do not have access to sanitary products during menstruation.
It is a small step from the Rotaract Family towards the *SAFE AND HYGIENIC MENSTRUATION*
We provided 60 pads to all the women living in the slum area. We hope our initiative can keep them safe from deadly diseases.
