Menstrual hygiene is one of the biggest health concerns among women in India. In urban regions, especially slums, and in rural regions, unawareness regarding menstrual health and hygiene is severely lacking. Menstruation, with age, becomes an important part of every girl's life. But for women and girls living in slums and rural regions, it becomes a curse. Let’s read more about the menstrual health and hygiene of women and girls and what role NGOs play in promoting healthy menstrual hygiene.<h1>Menstrual Hygiene: Understanding the Basics</h1>&nbsp;Menstrual hygiene is a significant step towards the empowerment and well-being of women and girls worldwide. Menstrual hygiene is more than just access to sanitary napkins and decent toilets. These things are an integral part of it, but it is also about women and girls living in an environment that values and supports their ability to deal with menstruation with dignity.Menstrual hygiene is a healthy and sanitary practice that needs to be taken care of during menstruation, which can help prevent infection in a woman's reproductive and urinary tracts. There are many myths and misconceptions about menstruation in India, with a long list of dos and don'ts for women during their monthly cycle. Menstrual hygiene practices are still overshadowed by taboos and socio-cultural norms, due to which teenage girls are unaware of scientific facts and hygienic practices, which affect their health adversely.Menstrual hygiene is of great importance to a woman’s health. Learn more about the significance of menstrual hygiene in women.<h1>The Importance of Menstrual Hygiene: Why It Matters</h1>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:74.35%;"><img src="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/pexels_photo_8192142_af33a114b8.webp" alt="pexels-photo-8192142.webp" srcset="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/thumbnail_pexels_photo_8192142_af33a114b8.webp 208w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/small_pexels_photo_8192142_af33a114b8.webp 500w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/medium_pexels_photo_8192142_af33a114b8.webp 750w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;Menstrual hygiene-related practices during menstruation are of great significance as they can reduce risk factors regarding susceptibility to reproductive tract infections (RTIs). Unhealthy menstrual hygiene is one of the important reasons for the high rate of RTI cases in the country, which significantly increases the risk of death in women.Lack of awareness about menstruation and menstrual hygiene leads to poor health and hygiene practices. Menstrual hygiene promotion necessitates simultaneous attention to a number of issues, including awareness, availability and quality of sanitary napkins, regular supply of these napkins, privacy, water management, sanitary napkin disposal, reproductive health education, and family support in menstrual hygiene and health issues.Giving people in rural and slum areas proper guidance and education on menstrual health and hygiene can raise awareness about how to care for themselves and what practices they should follow during menstruation.<h1>&nbsp;How Non-Profit Organizations are Improving Access to Hygiene Resources</h1>&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:80.18%;"><img src="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/pexels_photo_1560288_57dbe6da05.jpeg" alt="pexels-photo-1560288.jpeg" srcset="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/thumbnail_pexels_photo_1560288_57dbe6da05.jpeg 234w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/small_pexels_photo_1560288_57dbe6da05.jpeg 500w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/medium_pexels_photo_1560288_57dbe6da05.jpeg 750w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/large_pexels_photo_1560288_57dbe6da05.jpeg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>&nbsp;Worldwide, at least 500 million women and girls lack adequate access to menstrual hygiene, and more than one third of schools lack separate toilets for girls and boys. For teenage girls, access to safe water and clean private latrines to manage their menstrual cycles can be a major factor in the difference between dropping out of school and getting an education, among both boys and girls.NGOs play an important role in raising awareness amongst girls and women regarding menstrual health and hygiene practices. Women and girls are more likely to get reproductive and urinary tract infections if menstrual hygiene products are not readily available. NGOs here play a vital role by providing these necessities for women in rural and slum regions. Not only this, but NGOs working for women make sure that every woman and girl meets their monthly periods with dignity and proper access to sanitary products.NGOs also address all aspects of menstrual health and hygiene, including:<ul><li>policy and advocacy on menstrual health and hygiene</li><li>timely and precise knowledge about menstruation</li><li>creating awareness about social norms around menstruation</li><li>access to safe and inexpensive menstrual hygiene products</li><li>access to sanitation and washing provisions</li></ul><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:77.73%;"><img src="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/pexels_photo_5712300_fc00dfee8f.webp" alt="pexels-photo-5712300.webp" srcset="https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/thumbnail_pexels_photo_5712300_fc00dfee8f.webp 234w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/small_pexels_photo_5712300_fc00dfee8f.webp 500w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/medium_pexels_photo_5712300_fc00dfee8f.webp 750w,https://strapi.thekarmapoints.com/uploads/large_pexels_photo_5712300_fc00dfee8f.webp 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure>There are many NGOs performing sanitary pad distribution drives that require funds.
