MENSTRUAL HYGIENE MANAGEMENT
The period of adolescence is a time of growth and important pubertal development takes place; therefore the needs and care required is different. Gaps in adolescent girl’s health especially due to social taboos on menstruation, result in unhygienic practices. Many girls face economic challenges to purchase menstrual supplies, or how to request adequate facilities. Due to menstruation issues, girls are at an increased risk of and susceptibility to RTI’sand have no place to dispose of soiled menstrual products. Poor menstrual hygiene management has been an insufficiently acknowledged problem.
Currently, The Baby Care Foundation is working to ensure a friendly environment by promoting education and protection of vulnerable children and women living in Tribal communities of Dist- Palghar through advocacy and extensive campaigns. We observe that poor health and hygiene practices in tribal rural areas are result of lack of knowledge, poverty, and inaccessibility to services.
TBCF has been able to reach out to more than 50865 adolescent girls and young women empowering them with the best MHM practices.
