Speaking on the occasion Priya Sethi said that with menstrual hygiene, a woman can have a healthy life. Menstrual hygiene must never be underestimated or ignored. Menstrual hygiene is a must for every girl and woman.
She said that menstruation is nothing but a very normal biological phenomenon, and adolescent girls and women should understand that they have the power of procreation only because of this virtue.
She said BJP believes that woman’s health and welfare is of prime importance and conducts menstrual hygiene camps with an aim to create awareness on adopting hygienic practices amongst women.
Braham Jyot said In India even mere mention of the menstruation topic has been a taboo in the past and even to this date the cultural and social influences appear to be a hurdle for advancement of knowledge on the subject. Culturally in many parts of India, menstruation is still considered to be dirty and impure.
He said young girls often grow up with limited knowledge of menstruation because their mothers and other women shy away from discussing the issues with them. Adult women may themselves not be aware of the biological facts or good hygienic practices.
Later on Nagarmal read vote of thanks.
