A Holistic Approach to Better Menstrual Health and Hygiene: Entrepreneurs in Action
Poor menstrual hygiene exacervates social and economic inequalities with affordability and accessibility of menstrual products being significant barriers for women and girls.
Entrepreneurs describe how providing products is not enough to help the cause, only a holistic approach of education, infrastructure, and societal change will truly work to improve outcomes.
Only a fraction of women in developing countries use sanitary products during menstruation due to limited availability, knowledge, income, and region.
Working to increase menstrual hygiene also includes working to promote menstrual health education with dignity.
