Sincer euml;ly Ghana Limited in collaboration with project BRAVE spearheaded by Tracy Owusu Addo has donated Sanitary Pads to underprivileged young women in a deprived community in Keta in the Volta Region to mark Women rsquo;s month.
In Michigan, a 6% tax is included on the purchase of tampons and sanitary pads, however, one Grand Rapids woman is lobbying to end that. Bills to end the tax have been introduced before but have stalled out in the past.
Bills in both the House and Senate were re-introduced in February. They are currently waiting to be heard at committee meetings which is the next step in the process. There is a pending lawsuit against the state that alleges collecting tax on menstrual products is unlawful and invalid citing the products are medical necessities which typically aren t taxed under state law.
Students and staff of Charamakki Narayana Shetty Memorial Government High School, Albadi-Ardi in Kundapur, pose before the sanitary napkin disposal pit built by them
UDUPI: While speaking about menstruation still continues to be taboo at several places, a team of teachers and boys have built a sanitary napkin disposal pit for a safe, dignified and inclusive menstrual waste disposal.
Since the incinerator for used sanitary napkin disposal at the Charamakki Narayana Shetty Memorial Government High School, Albadi- Ardi in Kundapur, was not working, Suresh Marakal, a social science teacher who had won the national award in 2019 through the Jeevan Shikshan programme, got nearly 40 students and 10 teachers, including headmaster Shekhar Shettigar and non-teaching staff to build the pit that was commissioned on Monday.
