In Bangladesh women and girls in many areas still face difficulties at home, schools, and workplaces during their menstruation. The hygiene practice and lack of knowledge about menstruation and staying safe are big concerns for women in Bangladesh. Sanitary napkin is not easily available, especially in rural areas. Many poor women do not use sanitary napkins at all during the period instead use unhygienic clothes. Poor people also can’t afford sanitary napkins. BASMAH FOUNDATION is working to change society’s outlooks at different points like in schools, garment factories & other important places. BASMAH FOUNDATION distributed free sanitary napkins among 2000 adolescent girls and women in 2020 and strived to raise awareness through seminars and discussions among poor women and girls in the Rohingya refugee camp and its schools
and other places
