Breaking the Silence: 60% Teenage Girls Drop Out of School Because of Menstrual Stigma

Breaking the Silence: 60% Teenage Girls Drop Out of School Because of Menstrual Stigma

Delhi, 3rd February 2025: Menstrual health and intimate personal hygiene are still taboo in many parts of India. Around 71% of adolescent girls do not know about menstruation before their first period and 60% of women experience vaginal and urinary tract infections each year due to poor menstrual hygiene. Pee Safe Founder Vikas Bagaria joined media entrepreneur and author Shutapa Paul on the What India Needs! podcast recently to discuss the stigma surrounding menstrual care and evolving hygiene practices in India. The episode explored the challenges, societal shifts, and innovative solutions driving change across the intimate care space.

Breaking the Silence

As the conversation got underway, Paul noted how period myths are still pushing women to the sidelines in India. “Superstitions, social taboos, and discomfort govern the topic of personal hygiene—especially female hygiene,” she said. Menstruation, particularly the shame associated with it, plays a major role in keeping adolescent girls out of school, which limits their prospects in life.

Moreover, the problem is not limited to rural areas alone. Pointing to the widespread practice of wrapping sanitary pads in black plastic to keep them hidden, Bagaria said, “Even in urban areas, menstruation is treated as a secret.”

Inadequate menstrual hygiene facilities and societal taboos are often to blame. They are the reason why, as Bagaria remarked, 60% of teenage girls are dropping out of school across the country. “While there has been some progress, with period care penetration increasing from 20% in 2017 to almost 40% at present, there is still a long way to go. Real change requires awareness, education, and collaboration,” he said.

Sustainability in Hygiene

While promoting menstrual hygiene is important, Paul also pointed to the country’s massive menstrual waste problem. “India alone has about 355 million menstruating women, and the amount of waste that is being pushed back into the earth is serious,” she said.

Around 121 million Indian women use sanitary pads (12.3 billion pads annually), generating 113,000 tons of waste each year. Menstrual cups and reusable sanitary pads offer a solution, and they are also more cost-effective than disposable pads.

Bagaria spoke of the need to highlight that sustainable menstrual products can be affordable. “The most expensive biodegradable sanitary pad costs ₹3,000 for the entire year. It’s not at all expensive when you see what it gives you. It is very affordable compared to a lot of things that we consume daily,” he said. Besides, as the consumption of these sustainable options increases, their prices are expected to drop.

He added, “We are pushing menstrual cups, which are far more affordable than a sanitary pad as they can be used for five years.” They don’t end up in a landfill after just one use. Paul agreed, saying, “Women need to break their mental perceptions about reusable products.”

Reaching Out to Men

Bagaria believes it is just as important to include men in conversations about menstrual health. Pee Safe’s “Men buy pads” campaign encourages fathers, brothers, and spouses to actively support the women in their lives.

The episode also touched upon the critical but rarely discussed subject of male hygiene. “Why don’t we also talk about men’s personal hygiene? Men generally have not had to face the kind of taboos that women have had to face, but they still do. We’re not talking about it much, even in mainstream media,” Paul remarked.

Bagaria said he was pleased to see new-age brands addressing men’s hygiene openly. Pee Safe has expanded its product line to include men’s intimate washes, formulated to maintain pH balance and hygiene. Emphasising the need for awareness around men’s intimate hygiene, Bagaria noted that it is hardly ever discussed but deserves attention all the same.

The Road Ahead

Delving into the prospects for the intimate hygiene market and what the future holds for brands like Pee Safe, Bagaria said, “In the next ten years, we will see India reach around 70 to 75% penetration.” He estimates the market could be worth $2.5 billion by then.

The Pee Safe founder also had business advice for aspiring entrepreneurs, urging them to focus on solving problems rather than chasing funding. “Your customer should be your biggest investor. Create a product that solves a real problem and success will follow,” Bagaria said.

Jaipur Music Stage 2025 Ends on a High with Kailash Kher & Hrishi

Held at Hotel Clarks Amer, Jaipur, the three-day Jaipur Music Stage came alive each evening as the Jaipur Literature Festival’s inspiring sessions concluded. The first night featured two performances celebrating the timeless verses of medieval mystics Amir Khusrau and Kabir Das—Abhijit Pohankar’s ‘Hazrat Amir Khusrau Project’ and a rock-opera interpretation of Kabir’s baani by the acclaimed Dastaan LIVE. The second evening had performances by singer-songwriter Kamakshi Khanna, followed by a remarkable collaboration between vocalist Susheela Raman, guitarist Sam Mills, and 13th-generation Nagada player Nathoo Lal Solanki. The evening drew to a close with Raman’s much-loved rendition of the evocative song Yeh Mera Diwanapan Hai.

Lovers of music, literature, and the arts arrived in huge numbers for the grand finale as the Jaipur Music Stage prepared for two spectacular performances. The evening opened with Hrishi, the Carnatic-Pop sensation who has taken the internet by storm with his unique fusion of Western pop and Carnatic sounds. With over 300,000 followers and 30 million views online, his music has amassed 5 million streams and 2.4 million YouTube views. His magnetic stage presence, magical voice, and innovative sound captivated the audience, setting the tone for an unforgettable night.

The headliner of the evening was the legendary Kailash Kher and his band, KAILASA. A Padma Shri awardee and one of India’s most celebrated voices, Kher is a global ambassador of Indian music, known for his soul-stirring blend of folk, Sufi, and contemporary styles. With over 1,500 songs in 25+ languages and more than 2,000 concerts worldwide, his music has transcended borders. Since its formation in 2004, KAILASA has brought together some of India’s finest musicians, creating a distinctive fusion of traditional and modern sounds. As the Jaipur Music Stage crowd swayed to his iconic anthems like Teri Deewani and Saiyaan, the evening became an unforgettable celebration of rhythm, melody, and emotion.

The 18th edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival 2025 will conclude with its final two days on the 2nd and 3rd of February at Hotel Clarks Amer, Jaipur.

India Dominates Togo 4-0, Clinches Davis Cup 2025 World Group I Spot

New Delhi, February 3, 2025: Hosts India, backed by a passionate home crowd and a superior lineup, cruised past Togo 4-0 to secure a place in the Davis Cup 2025 World Group I Playoffs at the DLTA Complex on Sunday. With the tie already decided in India’s favor, the fifth and final match was not played.

Having taken a commanding 2-0 lead on the opening day—thanks to emphatic victories by Mukund Sasikumar and Ramkumar Ramanathan in the singles rubbers—India needed just one more win on Sunday to seal their spot in World Group I, set to take place in September 2025.

N Sriram Balaji and Rithvik Choudary Bollipalli delivered that decisive win with clinical precision, defeating Hod’abalo Isak Padio and M’lapa Tingou Akomlo 6-2, 6-1 in the doubles rubber, ensuring India’s triumph.

With an electrifying atmosphere at the DLTA Complex, Balaji and Rithvik fed off the energy of the home crowd. They seized the initiative early, breaking their opponents’ serve in the fourth game of the first set before closing it out with another break in the eighth.

The second set was even more one-sided, as the Togolese pair struggled to hold serve, conceding breaks in the fourth and sixth games to hand India a dominant victory.

India’s non-playing captain, Rohit Rajpal, was thrilled with his team’s commanding performance and emphasized how this win bodes well for the future of Indian tennis.

“I think the purpose here was to also get a few youngsters in the fold and get them on the bench and get them conditioned to Davis Cup pressures so that we start developing some good Davis Cuppers. They do well in any case on the Tour but like I said, it is a different ball game when you play in front of the home crowd. There are so many people expecting you to win and that brings different kinds of pressure,” Rajpal said.

Historically, India has relied heavily on its doubles teams in Davis Cup ties, with legends like Leander Paes, Mahesh Bhupathi, and Rohan Bopanna playing crucial roles over the years.

Rajpal lauded Balaji and Rithvik for showcasing the growing depth in India’s doubles ranks.

“Doubles was easy but there is a lot of expectations from the doubles players and I am extremely happy with the way Bala (Balaji) and Rithvik came all guns firing Very very fantastic match today and I am hoping to build this team for the future which is able to take on the best in the world,” he added.

With the tie already secured, India fielded Karan Singh for the first reverse singles match against Padio. The 21-year-old started strong, breaking his opponent’s serve in the second game before comfortably closing out the first set.

Karan looked set for a routine victory as he raced to a 4-0 lead in the second set with a double break. However, he momentarily lost momentum, dropping a service game, before regaining control to wrap up the match 6-2, 6-3.
