Silent Red: Addressing Menstrual Injustice and Human Rights Disparities in Rural and Urban India

Author(s) Ms. Karthiayani A, Dr. Sonia Nagarale
Country India
Abstract This paper critically examines the intersection of menstrual health management and human rights, focusing on the persistent inequities between rural and urban India. It aims to identify the systemic barriers that hinder effective menstrual management while exploring pathways to advance menstrual justice as a fundamental human right.
The study highlights stark disparities in access to menstrual hygiene products, affordability, menstrual health education, and healthcare services, with rural communities facing greater marginalization. These challenges are compounded by cultural stigmas and discriminatory practices that violate the dignity and bodily autonomy of menstruators. The research underscores the urgent need for rights-based policy interventions that prioritize menstrual equity, promote community-led advocacy, and dismantle stigmatization through targeted educational programs. Additionally, it calls for strengthening healthcare frameworks to ensure that all individuals who menstruate can do so with dignity, free from discrimination and exclusion.
By framing menstrual justice as a human rights imperative, this paper provides a critical foundation for policymakers, healthcare providers, and community leaders to implement inclusive and sustainable solutions, ensuring menstrual equity for all women and girls in India.
