Abstract

Menstruation is still subjected to a slew of societal, cultural, and religious constraints, which pose a significant impediment to proper menstrual hygiene management. Girls particularly in rural areas, are unprepared and unaware of menstruation, leading to several problems at home, in schools, and in an office. Adolescent girls are a particularly vulnerable population, especially in India, where the needs of female children have a history of ignorance. Women's voices are ignored in households, communities, and development programmes due to discriminating rights towards women of our country.
