World Menstrual Hygiene Day is observed every year on May 28. Menstruation is a process, which every woman goes through every month. This day is celebrated to create awareness and promote cleanliness among women/girls on those special days. By maintaining hygiene during periods, one can protect oneself from infection during this period. Generally, women’s menstruation comes within 28 days and its period is five days. For this reason, the 28th of May was chosen to celebrate this special day, the fifth month of the year.
According to jagran.com, The main reason for celebrating Menstrual Hygiene Day is to make women aware of cleanliness during periods. It was started in the year 2014 by the German NGO Wash United’. The purpose behind celebrating this is to make girls/women aware of the importance of cleanliness and safety during periods i.e. those five days of the month. During this time, women also have to go through many physical, and hormonal changes. There are problems such as pain in the waist, legs, and abdomen, vomiting, headache, dizziness, etc. During this time, women need to take special care of their hygiene because carelessness can lead to many diseases.
Globally 1.8 million women undergo menstruation every month, but it has been observed that many of them fail to make the menstrual cycle safe and healthy. The biggest reason for this is social shame-shame, harassment during menstruation, and social boycott. Even today, there are many girls who wash old clothes and use them again and again during periods. But it should not be done at all. This dramatically increases the risk of spreading the infection. These days you should take care of the cleanliness of your bed. Along with this, keep changing the bedsheet from time to time. So that to avoid infection.
