Priority eludes sanitary pads in Pune

PUNE: Sanitary

napkins

have come to assume the lowest priority in the list of essentials for women from financially backward classes and those in

shelter

homes across the city.

Inspector Maya Deore of the Chaturshringi police said, “ People in shelter homes are not let out and they have no means to get access to napkins. Thus, I contacted a voluntary organization National Youth Union (NYU). Jointly, we have distributed sanitary napkins in a slum and various shelter homes.”

“We are helping by distributing a pack of 12 sanitary napkins to these women,” said Arijit Biswas from NYU.
