About us
Period poverty is a significant issue affecting many girls and women in India. Due to a lack of education, poverty, and social taboos, menstruation is often not discussed openly. Laxmisakhi coming Foundation, an NGO in Bokaro, is working to distribute sanitary napkins and raise awareness about menstrual hygiene. Many girls and women do not have access to proper hygiene products and are forced to use unsafe materials like cloth, newspapers, or grass, which can cause health issues.
In Indian society, cultural norms often discourage open discussions about menstruation. As a result, many girls are unaware of proper hygiene practices, and even those who know may struggle to access the products they need. The stigma surrounding menstruation further prevents them from seeking help or talking about their needs.
