Menstruation is a normal physiological process that every healthy woman between the ages of 12 to 50 years goes through. During this process that lasts from 5-7 days a month, she requires sanitary products as well as the knowledge on best practices in maintaining her health and physical well-being.
Talking about menstruation is a taboo in most countries. Girls and women during their periods are ostracized and marginalized, sometimes being made to sleep in various outhouses, impacting their self esteem and leading the nation to lose out on untapped potential resources.
