Abstract

The present study is focused on the status of women hygiene in India in relation to environmental management. Menstrual hygiene is considered as a human right, and it has become a public health issue too. Because poor menstrual hygiene is responsible for infections, reproductive health, and other problems. The management of menstrual hygiene is much needed to accomplish the targets of sustainable development goals such as SDG 3, 4, 5, and 6. India is also advancing in menstrual health management by introducing several schemes. Awareness and availability of safe menstrual hygiene products are ensured by these schemes. To protect women hygiene, National Menstrual Hygiene Policy is conscripted in 2023. However, regular monitoring of the guidelines actions is much needed. The policy would be a benchmark for women empowerment and gender equality. Hence, women hygiene is essential for environmental sanitation and to accomplish all sustainable development goals and environmental sustainability.

Keywords: Environmental management, gender equality, menstrual health, sustainable development goals, women hygiene
