MENSTRUAL HYGIENEWomen’s Day 2021:

“I Have Never Owned Underpants, So How Could I Use A Sanitary Pad?”

Owing to their on ground work in Uttarakhand, NGO SheWings realised that the major barrier faced by women in accessing menstrual hygiene products, is not having undergarments

New Delhi: 30-year-old Pushpa lives in a slum in Dehradun in Uttarakhand. She works as a housemaid and lives in a joint family of 5 people sharing a small space of 15 square metres. Being in a slum their shanty has no space for an individual toilet. But since 2018 the family now has access to a community toilet built under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, located 5 minutes away. Pushpa is grateful for the toilet that saves her the ignominy of defecating in the open; she particularly recounts the trouble she had during her periods during those days.

Lack of access to a proper toilet is only one of the hindrances for women like Pushpa to practice menstrual hygiene. It is a widely known fact that almost 70 per cent of the menstruating women in India can’t afford to buy sanitary napkins.

Pushpa used to use cloth during her periods, and like Pushpa they use rags, dirty cloths, etc.
