Akshay Kumar backs menstrual hygiene campaign for underprivileged women; read details

A huge number of migrant workers, daily wage-earners and underprivileged women workers happen to be suffering during the nationwide lockdown. As the lockdown has stopped all the ongoing work,  these workers are left with no money and food to consume during this COVID-19 crisis. Because of the lockdown, these women currently have no access to the sanitary products, menstrual, and hand hygiene which certainly increases their risk of catching diseases. Several Bollywood actors have started supporting NGOs that help underprivileged women by supplying sanitary pads and sanitization kits.
