There is a new dawning for menstrual hygiene in North East India, and it's all thanks to grassroots initiatives. For centuries, women in the region have faced stigma and taboos surrounding menstruation. This has resulted in increased rates of menstrual health problems such as cervical cancer, which are often preventable if women have access to proper menstrual care.
Thankfully, there are grassroots initiatives working hard to change these harmful cultural norms. These initiatives are working to break down the taboos and stigma around menstruation by providing education and access to menstrual care facilities. In doing so, they are empowering women of North East India to take control of their own health and wellbeing.
We can all play a role in this transformation by raising awareness about the need for improved menstrual hygiene in North East India. Together, we can break down the barriers that stand between women and their rightful access to menstrual care. Let's work together to create a more equitable future for all women in North East India!
