Abstract

Menstrual hygiene is a topic that has long been shrouded in silence and stigma, but in India, it has emerged as an urgent public health concern that demands our immediate attention. The lack of access to proper menstrual hygiene management not only affects the well-being of millions of Indian women and girls but also has far-reaching consequences for their health, education, and overall quality of life.1Menstruation is a naturally unfolding biological process that takes place in adolescent girls and women of reproductive age.2

 

In a country as diverse as India, where cultural norms, traditions, and socioeconomic disparities vary widely,3 addressing menstrual hygiene requires a multifaceted, integrated approach. Here, we shed light on the critical aspects of this issue and the imperative need for a unified strategy to combat the menstrual hygiene crisis in India.
