A MENSTRUAL HYGIENE MANAGEMENT WORKING COMMITTEE FORMED IN THE ANDHRA PRADESH STATE IN INDIA IS CREATING A MODEL THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLICATED Selvaraj, J. (2022)
Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) relates to how girls and women manage their monthly menstruation and require access to information about menstruation, clean and safe menstrual absorbents, amenities, and facilities such as toilets and water, and waste management to maintain hygiene. MHM in general is poor in India due to a low level of knowledge and many misconceptions about it. In recent years, MHM is gaining momentum at all levels of society. The central government has been viewing the issue with a lot of importance by inculcating it as an integral part of the Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) and thereby also linking it to the various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Several programmes and projects have been devised by the central and state governments to promote menstrual hygiene thereby highlighting the issue and bringing it to the surface.
