Mensuration Challenges in India

Breaking taboos and fostering awareness for menstrual health as part of our shared humanity

In India, menstruation remains a significant challenge affecting millions of women and girls. Despite being a natural biological process, it's shrouded in stigma, myths, and restrictions that impact education, health, and dignity.

Approximately 23 million girls drop out of school annually due to lack of proper menstrual hygiene management facilities. Many women still use unsafe materials like rags, ash, or leaves due to limited access to sanitary products.
