Periods can be quite a surprise to young school going girls.
The anxiety of where to find a napkin, accompanied with a roller-coaster ride
of emotions can interfere with studies and can also keep them off school for an
extended period of time.
The sanitary napkin vending machines is certainly an answer to their
woes and has been made mandatory in all government Schools in Kerala. The
machines will soon be installed in all Schoolsacross the country. The majority
of users are students, so the napkins are priced at Rs 2 making it easy on the
pocket.
The aim is to lift the taboo surrounding menstruation and
the unhygienic menstrual practices with the hope of more girls joining Schools,
especially from the rural sectors. As a nation, we need to actively work
towards the upliftment of rural India Glolifecare.com
