'Menstruation and girls relation'

Hailing Uttar Pradesh government's recent decision to distribute free sanitary napkins to all girls in state-run schools, she said that the "move" could be an exciting model for other states of India as well as other countries. "The move is certainly highly commendable. It gives a truly important message about the importance of educating girls, and can be seen as an exciting model for other states in India and elsewhere. "However, for the same procuring large quantities of menstrual hygiene products for low-income girls and women and identifying selection criteria is also important, both to ensure the proper usage of the product and to maximise government investments," she said.
