Menstruation is an integral part of female life. Globally, approximately 52% of the female population is on reproductive age and menstruates for two to seven days, every month. In rural and backward area of India, menstruating girls are considered impure. They are often kept in isolation for as long as they menstruate and treated like untouchables. Menstrual hygiene and basic sanitation are fundamental to the wellbeing of the female gender. Yet, a vast majority of the rural population has no access to clean sanitary products that are commonly available in other parts of the world. Or even to a clean and private facility where they can change their menstrual cloths/pads and keep themselves disease free. Millions of girls and women are subject to severe restrictions in their daily lives-simply because they are menstruating. Besides health problems, poor hygiene practices during menstruation push girls temporarily, and in many cases permanently out of school.
