Me ka pani ʻia ʻana o nā kula, ua hoʻopau ʻia nā lako manuahi o "nā kāwele hoʻomaʻemaʻe" a ke aupuni, e koi ana i nā kaikamahine ʻōpio e hoʻohana i nā ʻāpana lepo a me nā lole.
ʻAʻole i hiki iā Maya, he 16 mau makahiki o ka hikina hema o Delhi, ke kūʻai aku i nā lole maʻemaʻe a ke hoʻohana nei ʻo ia i nā t-shirt kahiko no kāna pōʻai mahina. Ma mua, e loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻeke o 10 mai kāna kula mokuʻāina, akā ua kū ka lako ma hope o kona pani koke ʻana ma muli o COVID-19.
“He ʻeke ʻewalu pads 30 Indian rupees [40 keneta]. Hana koʻu makuakāne ma ke ʻano he huki rickshaw a ʻaʻole loaʻa kālā. Pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke noi aku iā ia i ke kālā e hoʻolilo ai i nā napkin maʻemaʻe? Ua hoʻohana au i nā T-shirt kahiko o koʻu kaikunāne a i ʻole nā lole lole aʻu e loaʻa ai ma ka home, "i ʻōlelo ʻo ia iā Anadolu Agency.
Ma Malaki 23, i ka wā i hoʻolaha ai ka lāhui ʻAsia Hema me 1.3 biliona heluna i ka hana mua o ka laka ʻana i ka ʻāina, ua kū nā hale hana a me nā kaʻa ʻana koe wale nō nā lawelawe pono.
Akā ʻo ka mea i hoʻopūhoihoi i ka poʻe he nui, ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo ʻia nā kāwele maʻemaʻe, i hoʻohana ʻia no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe wahine, i nā "lawelawe koʻikoʻi". Ua hele mai nā hui wahine he nui, nā kauka a me nā hui non-government e hōʻike ana ʻaʻole e hoʻōki ka COVID-19 i nā pōʻai menstrual.
“Ke hāʻawi nei mākou i kekahi mau haneli mau ʻeke lole maʻemaʻe i nā kaikamahine ʻōpio a me nā wahine ma nā kuaʻāina. Akā i ka wā i hoʻolaha ʻia ai ka laka, ʻaʻole mākou i loaʻa nā napkin ma muli o ka pani ʻana o nā ʻāpana hana, "wahi a Sandhya Saxena, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka papahana She-Bank e Anaadih NGO.
"ʻO ka pani ʻana a me nā mea paʻa paʻa i ka neʻe ʻana ua kumu i ka hemahema o nā pads i ka mākeke," wahi āna.
Ma hope wale nō o ka hoʻokomo ʻana o ke aupuni i nā pads i nā lawelawe koʻikoʻi he 10 mau lā ma hope mai ua hiki iā Saxena a me kāna hui ke kauoha i kekahi mau mea, akā ma muli o nā palena o ka halihali, ʻaʻole lākou i hāʻawi i kekahi i ʻApelila
a me Mei. Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia e hele mai nā napkin me ka "ʻauhau waiwai a me nā lawelawe", ʻoiai ke piʻi nei nā kelepona no ke kālā.
Wahi a kahi noiʻi 2016 e pili ana i ka mālama maʻemaʻe menstrual ma waena o nā kaikamahine ʻōpio ma India, ʻo 12% wale nō o nā wahine a me nā kaikamahine i loaʻa i nā kāwele hoʻomaʻemaʻe mai ka 355 miliona mau wahine a me nā kaikamahine. ʻO ka nui o nā wahine maʻemaʻe ma India e hoʻohana nei i nā napkin maʻemaʻe hiki ke kū i 121 miliona.
ʻO ke koʻikoʻi maʻi maʻi-kumu ʻana i nā manawa kūpono ʻole
Ma waho aʻe o nā pilikia maʻemaʻe, ua loaʻa nā kauka he nui i nā kelepona mai nā kaikamahine ʻōpio no ka hewa ʻole o kēia manawa a lākou e kū nei i ko lākou mau manawa menstrual. Ua loaʻa i kekahi poʻe nā maʻi a ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe e kahe nui ana ke koko. Ua alakaʻi kēia i kahi pilikia hou aʻe e pili ana i nā pilikia pili i ke olakino wahine. Ua hōʻike pū kekahi i ka humuhumu pad no lākou iho ma ka home me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lole synthetic.
"Ua loaʻa iaʻu nā kelepona mai nā kaikamahine ʻōpio, i nā kula, e haʻi mai ana ua ʻike lākou i nā manawa ʻeha a kaumaha. Mai kaʻu hōʻoia ʻana, ʻo ia nā mea āpau e pili ana i ke koʻikoʻi. Nui nā kaikamahine i kēia manawa e hoʻoikaika i ko lākou wā e hiki mai ana a maopopo ʻole i ko lākou ola. ʻO kēia ka mea i hopohopo iā lākou, "wahi a Kauka Surbhi Singh, he kauka maʻi maʻi a me ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka NGO Sachhi Saheli (True Friend), nāna e hāʻawi i nā kāwele manuahi i nā kaikamahine ma nā kula aupuni.
ʻOiai e kamaʻilio ana me Anadolu Agency, hōʻike pū ʻo Singh i ka noho ʻana o nā kāne a pau i ka home, ke kū nei nā wahine i nā kaiāulu marginalized i nā pilikia e hoʻolei ana i nā ʻōpala menstrual. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā wahine makemake e hoʻolei i ka ʻōpala ke hele ʻole nā kāne e pale aku i ka stigma e pili ana i ka menstruation, "akā ua hoʻopili ʻia kēia wahi pilikino ma lalo o ka laka," wahi a Singh.
Ua hōʻemi kēia i ko lākou makemake e hoʻohana i nā napkin i ko lākou pōʻai mahina.
I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hoʻolilo ʻo India i kahi 12 biliona pad sanitary, me ʻewalu mau pad i hoʻohana ʻia i kēlā me kēia pōʻai e 121 miliona wahine.
Me nā napkin, ke hāʻawi nei ʻo Singh's NGO i kahi pūʻolo me nā kāwele hoʻomaʻemaʻe, ʻelua mau pōkole, kopa pepa, kahi ʻeke pepa e mālama ai i nā pōkole a me kahi pepa ʻala e hoʻolei aku i ka napkin lepo. Ua hāʻawi lākou i kēia manawa ma luna o 21,000 mau ʻeke.
ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻohana ʻana
Ma muli o ka maikaʻi ʻole o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pads ma nā mākeke, nui nā kaikamahine ʻōpio i hoʻohana i ka napkin hoʻokahi no nā lōʻihi lōʻihi ma mua o ka pono.
Pono e hoʻololi ʻia kahi kāwele hoʻomaʻemaʻe i kūʻai ʻia ma ka hale kūʻai ma hope o kēlā me kēia ʻeono hola e wāwahi ai i ke kaulahao maʻi, akā ʻo ka hoʻohana lōʻihi ʻana e alakaʻi ana i nā maʻi pili i ka maʻi genital a hiki ke lilo i mau maʻi ʻē aʻe.
“ʻAʻole loaʻa ka hapa nui o nā ʻohana mai nā hui haʻahaʻa i ka wai maʻemaʻe. ʻO ka hoʻohana lōʻihi ʻana i nā pads no laila hiki ke alakaʻi i nā pilikia genital like ʻole a me nā maʻi maʻi hānau keiki, "wahi a Kauka Mani Mrinalini, ke poʻo o ka ʻoihana obstetrics a gynecology ma kahi hale hoʻokele aupuni ʻo Delhi.
ʻOiai ua kuhikuhi ʻo Dr. Mrinalini i ka hāʻule maikaʻi ʻana o ke kūlana COVID-19 ʻoi aku ka ʻike o ka poʻe i kēia manawa i ka maʻemaʻe, ua koi ʻo ia i ka loaʻa ʻole o nā kumuwaiwai. "No laila he hoʻoikaika mau ʻia e nā luna o ka haukapila e aʻo i nā wahine e hoʻomaʻemaʻe iā lākou iho."
