What are the menstrual realities of young girls, women and menstruating people living in Mumbai Slums? How are religions, economics, customs and traditions directly or indirectly influencing or perpetuating menstrual shame and stigma in this city? How can science, education, economic empowerment opportunities and health clinics help offer pathways of menstrual dignity to vulnerable populations?
