Menstruation is a taboo subject in Madhya Pradesh and a topic that even women don’t want to discuss.

According to Project Udita under ICDS, Women and Child Development Department,
• 88 % of women use cloth, ash, soil, dried leaves during menstruation
• Only 12 % of women use sanitary pads
• 42 % of women use the same pieces of cloth repeatedly
• 29 % of women use dirty cloth during menstruation
• Women who do not use sanitary pads are severely prone to the risk of pathogen transmission by up to 70%

Under the Rural Livelihoods Mission in Madhya Pradesh, women self-help groups have come together to break the silence on menstrual hygiene. For the last two years, three units of sanitary pads have been established in the Jhabua district where women are making and selling sanitary pads in their village.

These 'padwomen' have taken up the responsibility to free women and girls in and around their areas where cloth is used during periods.
Rural Madhya Pradesh fared the worst in the country in menstrual health in the latest National Family Health Survey.

ICDS, Women and Child Development Department has initiated #NoShame in Menstruation campaign through MP MyGov to create awareness about menstruation in Madhya Pradesh.

The department invites all citizens to send their suggestions/views on:
• Providing adequate information about menstrual health and hygiene
• Teaching safe use of sanitary pads
• Make low cost sanitary pads available
• To teach environmentally safe disposal mechanisms
• Communicate importance of nutrition during menstruation

This issue needs your attention. Join #NoShame in Menstruation campaign by sending your suggestions. #ParticipateNow

हर गांव और हर शहर हर क़स्बा जहा दूर दूर तक कोई सिटी या शहर नहीं हो वहा की लडकिया या ओरत इस समय जब माहवरी होती हैं तब वो पेड नहीं ख़रीद सकती क्योंकि वहां वो पेड नहीं मिलता और पेड अधिकतर शहर में ही मिलता हैं । ईसलिए उनके पास कपडा लगाने के सिवाय और कोई चारा नहीं रहता । यदि सरकार एक कदम उठाये और हर गांव में जहा ये पेड उपलब्ध नहीं होता वहा पहुचाये और आंगनवाड़ी में काम करने वाली बाई घर घर जाकर ये बताये की इससे क्या फायदा होता हैं ।
