Using unsanitary materials like rags or leaves can increase the risk of infections, reproductive health issues, and other complications. Additionally, the lack of proper sanitation facilities can further exacerbate these challenges, making it difficult for women to manage their periods safely and with dignity.
It is crucial to address these barriers by promoting education and awareness about menstrual hygiene, ensuring access to affordable and quality menstrual products, improving sanitation facilities, and providing essential health services and support. By breaking the taboo surrounding menstruation and advocating for sustainable solutions, we can empower women and girls to manage their periods with dignity, comfort, and confidence.
