Why is there "menstrual poverty" in this society now?

Will it still exist in this society now? Menstrual poverty? There are two reasons, one is the difficulty of life, and the other is that these people have menstrual discrimination and menstrual shame.

Menstrual poverty? The word shocked Bian Xiao. Bian Xiao didn't think that there are people in this world who can't afford sanitary napkins, and there are no people who have to drop out of school because they can't afford sanitary napkins during menstruation. By contrast, I feel so happy.

Menstrual poverty means that women in some areas can't afford sanitary napkins when they come to menstruation because of financial difficulties. For them, sanitary napkins are a very expensive expense. In order to save money, they use old clothes, old cloth, bark, newspapers, charcoal ash and other materials to absorb their menstrual blood. In India, many girls have to drop out of school because of menstruation, and many can't work because of menstruation. In Nepal, women can only stay in a small house called menstrual room during menstruation, and even some women will be killed by snakes in that house. There are two main reasons for this situation.

1, economic poverty Many women in western China can't afford sanitary napkins because of poverty, because sanitary napkins are an expensive expense for them. A woman needs about two packs of sanitary napkins for daily use and one pack for night use a month, and each pack of sanitary napkins costs about ten yuan, so it costs 30 yuan a month and 360 yuan a year. For people in poor areas, there are many 360 yuan. This situation is common in India, and many girls have to drop out of school because of menstruation.

2. Menstrual discrimination and shame. People in many places do not correctly realize that menstruation is a normal physiological phenomenon. Many people even discriminate against women who have menstruated for a long time. That is to say, in our country, many people think that women can't go to the temple when they come to menstruation, and they can't go to the graves of their ancestors. This kind of discrimination also exists in Nepal. They think that it is a disease for women to menstruate, and that menstruating women will bring bad luck and reduce the output of cows and crops. As a woman, she will be ashamed of her menstruation. Many people are embarrassed to say that they have menstruated, and many people are embarrassed to buy sanitary napkins.

To eliminate menstrual poverty, we should not only develop the economy, but also change people's ideas so that they can correctly understand menstruation.
