@araba_hemhaa So the girls there have to stop schooling till it is over,our mothers and sisters in the rural areas some can't even afford a pack of pad.
They use rags and old clothes"wash and wear".
Not to talk of taxing on sanitary pads.
Government must intervene.
We are all pleading.
@araba_hemhaa Some young girls stop schooling during their menstrual period,b'cos they can't afford a sanitary pad.
There was a documentary sometime ago,in a rural area,there was a river between the community and the school and it is a taboo to cross the river ur menstrual period.
@araba_hemhaa@YHAG20@HFFG_Ghana@AfNHi_Tweets@NAkufoAddo It shouldn't be so,mentrual cycle is what differs,women from men,and that makes women special.
So why should it be taxable,it wasn't so in the olden days,so why should it be our time now?
@araba_hemhaa@YHAG20@HFFG_Ghana@AfNHi_Tweets@NAkufoAddo Yes,because what I know is,when a lady is not properly dressed during her menstrual period,she fills reluctant to go to public places.
Even when she goes out at all,she fills timid in public.
@araba_hemhaa@YHAG20@HFFG_Ghana@AfNHi_Tweets@NAkufoAddo What I know about menstrual hygiene is that,as ladies we need to keep ourselves very clean,especially during our menstrual period in order to protect us from infections.
This may include,bathing for two or three times daily,changing our underwears and also changing our sanitarys.
