Khalsa Aid Offers Free Sanitary Pads To Women Facing Menstrual Hygiene Issues At Protest Sites
The Khalsa Aid has set up temporary toilets for men and women. The team also has sanitary napkins for the women in need.
As thousands of women protesters gathered around Delhi borders to protest the Centre's contentious farm laws, a glaring issue they faced was that of menstrual hygiene.
While residents of neighbouring villages have opened their doors to women to take a bath and provide them with hot water, hygiene facilities at the border points are not satisfactory.
Many women who are taking part in the protests said that lack of hygiene facilities is an issue.
A message from the women farmers protesting at Delhi borders.

As the 'Delhi Chalo¡¯ March meandered its way through Punjab and Haryana to Delhi, Khalsa Aid volunteers have been serving free langar to them at several locations.
Even the Members of Kisan Mazdoor Sangarsh Committee have been stocking up essentials in trolleys for their tractor rally towards Delhi.
"We have loaded food material for months and cooking utensils in our trolleys. We're all headed towards Delhi now," said one of the protesting farmers.
