 And Public Health, especially Estonia Shodunker has asked the federal government to remove taxes on menstrual pads to make them more affordable for girls, particularly in rural areas. Shodunker spoke during an outreach on hygiene and distribution of free pads to female students at Alabata Community High School in Oregon State. The Pada program organized by treasured points of light and the agricultural media resources and Extension Center aims to provide free pads to 500 girls in Alabata and surrounding villages. Shodunker expressed concern that many young ladies could no longer afford menstrual products due to economic hardship. This pad, it will make them cheaper. It will make them more affordable. I know somebody might frown hearing this, but it's a plea. It's a plea. Can we consider removing tax from these menstrual products? And then to a large extent, can we just consider making provisions for rural areas like this? We can always have projects from time to time that covers these rural areas. We have people well to do in the society who do not even know what to do with money. Forget the fact that the dollar is high, subsidy removal and all. People are still living well. Can we make it a point of duty to always think about this or that? For our organization, we do majorly rural outreach for the celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child, because we know that those in the urban communities most likely have access to these things, but people at this end most likely do not have the resources to pad themselves during these days, like five, six days in the month for your menstrual flow is a lot. So having what it takes to maintain yourself those days is not really common at this site. So we want to extend the hands of fellowship to them. We plan for 500 beneficiaries, but at the moment we have 720 beneficiaries. That's plus the ones in the villages. And we hope that what we have would suffice. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
