Period poverty, the lack of access to sanitary products, menstrual education, and proper facilities, affects millions of women worldwide. Governments are combating this issue with initiatives like the Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) Scheme, Suvidha Sanitary Napkins, Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK). Despite progress, challenges remain, such as widespread myths, limited access to affordable products, inadequate facilities, and disposal issues. A holistic approach involving education, infrastructure, and product distribution, alongside community engagement and public-private partnerships, is essential to eradicate period poverty and promote menstrual health.
