| Abstract: | Conversations about menstruation are considered a taboo in India. Commencement of menstruation is a sign of healthy adolescence, yet in India it is considered shameful, unpleasant and something that has to be dealt with secretively. This results in a lack of awareness in women about their menstrual cycle, bodily changes, reproductive health and hygiene practices, resulting in psychological, physical and social ramifications. There are also the issues of accessibility and affordability in maintaining healthy hygiene practices during menstruation. In India, about 23% of adolescent girls drop out of the school due to problems related to menstruation. |
