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.
