  3. Conduct educational workshops and awareness campaigns to promote the use of sanitary cloth pads, addressing the myths and misconceptions surrounding menstruation and providing information on proper hygiene practices.
  4. Enhance the quality and durability of sanitary cloth pads by conducting research and development to identify innovative materials and designs that offer better absorption and comfort for users.
  5. Empower women and girls by providing employment and income-generation opportunities through the establishment of small-scale production units for manufacturing sanitary cloth pads, thereby promoting economic independence and female entrepreneurship.
  6. Collect and analyze data on the impact of sanitary cloth pads on menstrual hygiene management, including factors such as reduction in infections, increased school attendance, and improved overall well-being, to advocate for policy changes and investment in menstrual health programs.
