1. Spreading awareness ~ as
we know television has a huge role in this, by telecasting programs about
hygiene in India, by making them aware about the importance of it, by applying
govt programmers and schemes, by taking sessions in schools and colleges
.
2.
Reducing the cost of hygiene product ~
as
we know India is a developing country, so still there are many sections
of society who cannot afford the product, especially women have to face this
problem more as the menstrual product (pads, tampons ) are very expensive
so, the govt should at least makes these product affordable.
3.
Making product more approachable ~In most of the rural
areas women still use cloth for menstruation. The product is not
approachable to them they still think that the cloth is the beat method for
them and hesitant to use the modern menstrual products.
4.Removing
the Patriarchal mindset ~ in patriarchy the male is the head of
the household so, they limits the women in many way . For them menstrual
hygiene is still a hushhh ! Hushh ! Private Thing which limits to women only .
Due to which women are unable to practice personal sanitary hygiene like
washing cloth pads, and drying them in sunlight for proper disinfection , not
allowing to go to temples etc.
5.
By maintaining cleanliness~ Due to the lack of
clean, private, safe water and sanitation facilities, women are unable to
practice personal sanitary hygiene like changing the menstrual pads, girls
limit their food and water intake to minimise their use of the toilet so that
they don’t have to change pads as regularly. These practices could lead to
severe health issues in the longer run.
