A van called the Menstrual Health Express has taken off from Worli recently, with the express aim of driving menstrual taboos and fostering nationwide awareness for menstrual health and hygiene management. This van will traverse the length and breadth of the country, covering diverse regions and communities. The idea is to gain awareness and insights into varied cultures, practices, and beliefs surrounding menstruation and menstrual health and hygiene in different states of India.
The initiative incorporated the distribution of free sanitary napkins, too. Women have received specialised training for sustainable cloth napkin production. Several universities have also implemented period leave, giving allowance in the attendance required for students.
