A most useful and needful gift to every woman

We are living in a country where " women are respected and worshipped as Goddess. Thousands of women deities and worship places are a classic example of our great culture and tradition. But unfortunately, it's not fully true in reality and practicality and with full remorsefulness and penitence, we need to accept that stark and painful truth of gender inequality existing in our country. The biggest testimony for that is associated with menstruation and bleeding, which still considered as one of the most heinous taboos and stigma irrespective of religion, region, caste, creed, poor, rich, urban, rural, villages, cities, literates, illiterates

it's one of the most saddening and ashaming facts that has been pulling back our country from reaching the pivotal of development and success. The menstruation or menstrual blood which signifies nature's blessing of creation and fertileness been wrongly associated with words like " impure" taboo or stigma”. it's so deep-rooted for a long time in the society that a sudden paradigm change of the mindset of people is not possible. But as a ray of hope, things are slowly changing and it's all of our duty to be a part of that change by assisting it in our own way.

According to surveys, India is one of the most backward countries in the world regarding " menstrual hygiene and sanitation management”. The people who began to accept the change in the form of using sanitary napkins and other hygienic ways of handling the menstrual waste are struggling with the disposal of it. Which itself is another matter of setback to both personal hygiene and the environment. The proper disposal of these menstruation aids like sanitary napkins, tampons, and menstrual cups are the biggest thing of concern and nightmare for every woman who uses it and most of them are forced to dump it in pits, put it in toilets, and burn it using kerosine like things. And all these methods are not healthy and not scientific which do more harm for both humans and nature. Most of the sanitary pads are non-biodegradable and it's proven that it will take 500-700 years for a sanitary napkin to get decomposed fully. So could imagine the drastic damage that's doing to our nature, the clogged pipes and toilets are another matter of concern due to blockage happening due to napkin disposal into toilets which also remain as an improper way.

So the most common way most follow is the burning of the pads, which is comparatively safe but requires lots of hardship - in a country where menstruation is considered as taboo or stigma, the disposal of a menstruation pad is beyond the imagination of ordeals starting from getting privacy to getting timing to getting fuel to getting space to getting burned is none other than a real nightmare and trauma woman or girl which is the biggest punishment for her, the right of a human being to keep their privacy and pride getting questioned here with each and every menstrual period which gives her more pain than the physical pain that she endured during that time.
