New Delhi: “Poor menstrual hygiene caused by a lack of education on the issue, persisting taboos and stigma, limited access to hygienic menstrual products and poor sanitation infrastructure undermines the educational opportunities, health and overall social status of women and girls around the world. As a result, millions of women and girls are kept from reaching their full potential,” initiated by Dr. Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah Studios at the event organized by Lions Club of Delhi Veg in association with Deepanan Trust and ICMEI to observe Menstrual Hygiene Day.
