If the pregnancy does not take place then the egg along with the uterus lining is eliminated from the body. This is what causes periods. This process is extremely essential as it sign of a women’s good reproductive health.

This nationwide programme will make female hygiene products available and accessible to every woman easily. This ensures that women from all walks of life will have happy periods.

On the other hand, in India and neighbouring countries menstruation is still a topic which is still spoken in hushed voices and totally avoided in public and religious places. In various countries menstrual products are considered products of luxury rather than necessity. Resulting in extra taxation on period products. There is a lack of knowledge related to periods amongst women of rural areas and even less have access to safe and proper period products, is the main hindrance in menstrual hygiene management.

Period education needs to be mandatory in schools and colleges not only for girls but the entire student body spreading awareness and normalizing it.
