Problems

faced by schools (their teachers and staff) and guardians:

LACK OF MATERIALS

Lack of communication materials and friendly methodology to talk about sensitive topics with children.

Hesitant to talk

Teachers and guardians are hesitant to directly talk about sensitive topics directly with their children.

How to follow ‘Draft National Menstrual Hygiene Policy, 2023’?

Schools may lack alignment with the policy strategy in ‘Draft National Menstrual Hygiene Policy, 2023’.

Blood Spotting

In the case of blood spotting, usually schools just provide outerwear and sanitary napkins but no innerwear. In such a scenario, the menstruator has to attach the napkin to the wet blood-spotted underwear which is highly uncomfortable and doesn’t solve the spotting concerns completely.

"4. POLICY STRATEGY:

4.4 Promotion of education and awareness on menstrual hygiene

4.4.1 Awareness campaigns targeting menstruators to provide accurate information including options of products available, debunk myths and misconceptions and address social and gender-related challenges associated with menstruation.

4.4.2 Conduct awareness campaigns to sensitize communities, parents, teachers and other stakeholders about menstrual hygiene, encouraging open dialogue and fostering a supportive environment that eliminates stigma and discrimination.

4.4.3 Integrate material on menstrual hygiene into the school education curricula. The existing School Health and Wellness Programme is an excellent platform for the same.

4.4.4 Studies on effective strategies and approaches to menstrual hygiene education/awareness in educational institutions and communities, including curriculum development and pedagogical methods.”
