Abstract:
Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) has a broad impact on society, including culture, health, and economy. While the scholarship has recently exposed existing gaps in understanding the issue at large, this research interrogates the connection between health and empowerment of women, that would lead to positive outcomes in economic development. MHM usually results in absenteeism in school, the project argues that promoting menstrual hygiene management in schools could keep them enrolled in schools for longer periods, resulting in higher literacy, numeracy, skills-generation, and greater long-term economic growth, and economic empowerment of women.
