During crises like floods and landslides, managing menstrual health is challenging due to limited access to sanitary products, privacy, and hygiene facilities, along with increased health risks and stigma. Solutions include stockpiling supplies, providing emergency kits, setting up private and hygienic spaces in shelters, and educating communities. Policies should integrate menstrual health into disaster plans. Continuous monitoring and feedback help improve responses, ensuring the dignity and health of menstruating individuals during emergencies.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we talk with Dr. Radha Poudel, a writer and advocate for Dignified Menstruation. Dr. Poudel discusses the challenges of managing menstrual health during crises and offers strategies to address these issues. She also highlights the essential menstrual hygiene products that should be included in emergency kits.
