Summary

Women are the most marginalized in India's rural population thus sanitary napkins/ menstrual hygiene is a non issue for them.They use rags leading to widespread unhealthy menstrual practices.A woman used blouse piece as sanitary pad & died of tetanus due to metal hook.Shame & silence around the issue makes it most taboo subject as vast majority face great hardships & indignity besides health risks due to this problem.

GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
