Period poverty in Malaysia not at worrying stage, says Nancy


KUALA LUMPUR: Menstrual or period poverty in Malaysia is not at a worrying level with the government providing sanitary napkins to the groups involved, especially to the target groups such as the Orang Asli, B40 and those who cannot afford them.

Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Nancy Shukri (pic) said the sanitary pads were given to ensure their hygiene during their menstrual cycle.
