Did you know? In a landmark move towards menstrual equity and the well being of women. India is poised to introduce its National Menstrual Hygiene Policy. One of the central objectives of this policy is to position menstrual health as a crucial public health concern. Having spent years working with NGOs and educational institutions to raise awareness of menstrual hygiene, I hope that the policy give females the opportunity to take on leadership roles and act as catalysts for change in their local communities.

#Why_women_health_is_least_priority_in_India. Women's health is often a low priority in India due to deep-rooted socio-cultural norms and gender inequality. Patriarchal attitudes prioritize men's needs, while women's health issues are stigmatized or dismissed. Limited access to education and healthcare, financial constraints, and a lack of awareness further exacerbate the problem. Additionally, systemic issues like inadequate healthcare infrastructure and policy implementation gaps hinder progress. Efforts to improve women's health are frequently undermined by these intersecting factors, perpetuating a cycle of neglect and disadvantage. #Womens_Health #Startups #Healthcare #FemTeach #Research
