Women and especially young girls should be thoroughly educated on menstrual hygiene and health in schools and communities. This should include the basic period hygiene habits, the science, and facts of menstruation, and how to manage period pain correctly. 

Apart from this, it is also important to openly talk about the myths and taboos surrounding menstruation so the right information prevails. It is also crucial to encourage open dialogue and establish a secure environment where girls and women may express their concerns and share their experiences.

Easy Access to Feminine Products:

To properly empower women and young girls, menstrual products must be made easily available to everyone in a cheap, secure, and environmentally friendly manner.

Sanitary Infrastructure: 

The menstrual needs of girls and women should be catered to by providing sufficient sanitation facilities in schools, offices, and public areas. For maintaining menstrual hygiene and dignity, access to sanitary restrooms, running water, and disposal facilities for used menstrual items is necessary. 

This will only happen when menstrual education is made common and people start to realize that women go through a challenging time so it is best to make a friendly environment for them. To fulfill these demands, governments, business owners, and communities ought to make improvements to their infrastructure.

Encouraging Research and Innovation: 

Putting efforts into research and innovation can result in the creation of feminine hygiene products that are better, waste management systems that are good, and address specific challenges that girls and women face. 

Addressing menstrual health enables women and young girls to better deal with the issues related to menstruation and it acts as a starting point for an open discussion about their health and well-being.
