Menstrual Health Management (MHM)
SISASSS's Commitment to Menstrual Health Management (MHM)
SISASSS is leading the charge in addressing menstrual health management (MHM) by taking a proactive approach to ensure accessibility, affordability, and availability of sanitary napkins in rural, urban and tribal communities. Recognizing the pressing need for affordable menstrual hygiene products, SISASSS has established sanitary napkin manufacturing units across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Gujarat. These units are bringing vital resources closer to the women who need them most, empowering them to manage their menstrual cycles with dignity and confidence.
Tackling the Barriers to Menstrual Hygiene
For many women and girls in urban, rural and tribal areas, managing menstruation is fraught with challenges. The lack of affordable, high-quality menstrual hygiene products often forces women to resort to unsafe alternatives, compromising their health and well-being. Schools see increased absenteeism among girls during menstruation, while the stigma and lack of awareness around menstrual health perpetuate a cycle of silence and neglect.
At SISASSS, we understand that addressing this issue is not about profit—it's about social responsibility. By establishing local manufacturing units, we have made essential hygiene products more accessible, enhancing the quality of life and self-respect of countless women in their communities.

Women can now access affordable, high-quality sanitary napkins within their communities, reducing their dependency on expensive commercial brands or unsafe alternatives.
Empowering Women through Employment
These units provide employment opportunities for women, enabling them to earn a livelihood while directly contributing to their community’s well-being.
