Abstract

Menstrual hygiene management (MHM) is an integral part of the Swachh Bharat Mission Guidelines (SBM-G). Swacch Bharat is India's nationwide sanitation initiative launched by the government in 2014. These guidelines, produced with the help of UNICEF India, aim to support all adolescent girls and women. They outline what needs to be done by state governments, district administrations, engineers and technical experts in line departments; and school head teachers and teachers.

The guideline is in three parts, the Main Guideline; a series 'Action Guides' that describe what each key stakeholder must do, why and how; and Technical Guides. The main guideline (this document) is organised as follows:

Part 1: About the guideline
Part 2: Who needs to know what, why and how
Part 3: Providing adolescent girls with menstrual hygiene management choices
Part 4: MHM infrastructure in schools and the safe disposal of menstrual waste
