The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has launched #YesIBleed menstrual hygiene campaign on the occasion of International Women’s Day 2018.
It is the second edition of such campaign that aims to create holistic approach to issue of menstruation.
The “#YesIBleed” campaign has been initiated formally across all multi-media platforms, including Facebook and YouTube to spread awareness about issue.
The United Nations has recognised menstrual hygiene as global public health and human rights issue.
According to the results of the study, “Sanitary Protection: Every Woman’s Health Right”, only 12% of Indian women have access to sanitary napkins and remaining 88% have no access as they find sanitary pads unaffordable.
