Keeping these things in mind, we with the help of factual data provided by self Help Group and support of ‘JKRLM UMEED’ scheme, and with our personal research based information, continue research found that there’s dire need of something vehement to provide information and benefits of usage of Sanitary pads in common masses, most woman’s fail to seek due to different socio economic issues including certain stereotypes, she added.
The sole issue which we encountered during our survey is that most of the women usually our mothers don’t know the use of sanitary napkins as they’ve never known about the health hazards caused due to usage of clothes or fabrics.
A woman should be provided basic knowledge and information about the things which are important for her but we lack these things in our society .Who is responsible we all , we should empower our woman with knowledge , wisdom and support them to avail their life in a better way” a member of added.
We must admire these kinda women’s who often try to do something fruitful for our community, there are so many who do offer their caliber, because of socio, cultural and economic barricades, we’d remove the shackles of this mental slavery and emancipate them.(KNW)
