Inspiration

A recent UNICEF and WaterAid report highlights a concerning reality: over one-third of girls in South Asia are absent from school during their menstrual periods. This absence is primarily attributed to the lack of accessible toilets and sanitary pads in schools, coupled with inadequate education about menstruation. Recognizing menstrual hygiene as a global public health and human rights issue, the UN underscores the alarming statistic that 1.2 billion women worldwide lack access to basic sanitation and hygiene.
