PadMan for free napkins
Akshay Kumar, who is addressing the issue of menstrual hygiene in his forthcoming film PadMan, says women should get sanitary napkins for free as it is a basic necessity for them.
Asked if the Toilet: Ek Prem Katha actor wants to reach out to the government to cut down on GST rate of sanitary napkins, Akshay told said: “Why just cut down on GSTIJ I think women should have free access to sanitary napkins. This is their basic necessity. It is about menstrual hygiene and not luxury.
“It is unfortunate and I am ashamed to say that 82 per cent women in this country have no access to sanitary pads and they are mistreated during those five days of their menstruation period. This is unfortunate.”
