'Menstruation and girls relation'

The lack of understanding about menstruation and lack of access to menstrual care products could affect the girls' confidence and mobility which would indeed impact the family as well as the society more generally, Muller said. Describing menstruation as a problem of product availability, she said that it has much wider roots which could only be dealt with effectively if all aspects of the issue are taken into consideration. "Lack of disposable products is one issue while availability of hygienic and environmentally products is still a big gap. This gap is exacerbated when the problem is looked at from a lens of low-income communities. "Additionally, affordability is also a gap that limits access to hygienic menstrual management methods and it can be addressed by not just making disposable products affordable but also coming up with low cost reusable solutions to limit cost over time," she stated.
