There is a lockdown in the state for the last 66 days, in such a situation, the government is providing food to ration to the needy, but there is also a need of half the population which is not being taken care of. It is both difficult to say and bear. Due to the lockdown period, women and daughters from remote areas are unable to get sanitary napkins, so they are looking for a 'pad man' who will also take care of their needs. However, the department is making home delivery of sanitary pads by calling under 'Cheli Beti Seva' in Champawat. But this facility is only for the city area.

Women are not able to get sanitary napkins as per their demand in the lockdown continued during the Corona period. Apart from this, if there is no brand of choice, then there is a problem regarding size. Kanchan Kashyap, who is associated with the Sakar Jan Seva Samiti, blames the government for this directly, she says that girls stuck in hostels or PG are facing problems. Sanitary napkins should be distributed with the help of Anganwadi workers or NGOs, and they suggest that napkins should be distributed in camps by following social distancing. Akshita Kashyap, a student of Pilikothi resident medical college, also says that brands and sizes are not available in the market as per choice. Other brands have to be used in compulsion.

For your information, let us tell you that even these small shops are not available. Shanti Jina, secretary of Punarnava Mahila Samiti, Kusum Digari, chairperson of Aakriti Society, also says that free sanitary napkins should be distributed in rural areas in collaboration with village heads. Tanuja Joshi, chairperson of Self Reliance Initiative, provides rations to the needy. They have also included napkins in ration kits. She also keeps a packet of sanitary napkins in every ration kit. She has distributed 3000 packets so far. She said that if the napkins are not found, women adopt other domestic methods, which causes problems.
