Karthik K K ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: Bengaluru-based social activist Jyothi Hitnal recently received a call from a girl staying at a relief camp in North Karnataka. “The girl told me that it was difficult for them to dry the clothes and change pads, as they stayed in the relief camp. Hitnal purchased about 500 menstrual cups and with the help of other social activists, including Sanjyothi, Deepa and others, she sent it to the relief camps. The activist is also coordinating with doctors, Asha workers and other social activists working in the relief camps of North Karnataka and has asked them to assist the women with using menstrual cups. She pointed out that besides contributing to waste, sanitary pads can also lead to infections, thus making the cups a more suitable alternative..
