I am submitting an article to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) titled Awareness and Adoption of Jan Aushadhi Suvidha Sanitary Napkins in Bihar, India. This article explores how affordable sanitary napkins, introduced under the Jan Aushadhi initiative, have improved menstrual hygiene management among rural women. Aligning with the theme Community Engagement for Inclusive Rural Transformation and Gender Equality, the study emphasizes the role of grassroots awareness campaigns in breaking menstrual taboos and promoting health equity. By highlighting the community’s involvement in adopting cost-effective solutions, the article underscores the transformative potential of inclusive practices in fostering gender equality in rural areas.
