Girls with little to no education are more susceptible to sex trafficking, becoming young brides, and experiencing high rates of poverty. In addition to these risks, young girls are often forced to end educational pursuits due to monthly menstruation cycles. Many girls avoid school due to being ashamed of this natural process. Misinformation can lead to societal superstitions, which may cause young girls to be ostracized. In a male dominated society, menstruation is often a taboo topic in many countries across the world. When women and girls lack access to sanitary products, they are more likely to suffer from health issues such as vaginal and urinary infections.
