Mapping Students’ Experience and Challenges of Menstrual Health Management within Delhi University Campus
Supervised by Prof. Anindita Datta
This study finds that although the university is considered a progressive space, students still find it difficult to manage menstruation sustainably due to inadequate facilities and hygiene conditions. Findings also suggest that many students remain unaware of sustainable menstruation practices and alternative products beyond sanitary napkins.
