    Menstrual Health Health and Law in India: An Analytical analytical Study
    (NLUJAA, 2026) Anisha Baro
    Menstruation is a natural physiological process experienced by women and girls across the world. Yet, for millions of women and girls in India, what ought to be an ordinary biological occurrence is rendered an ordeal by persistent stigma, inadequate legal protection, and systemic neglect of menstrual health infrastructure. The right to health, enshrined as an indispensable component of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution of India,2 demands that the State not merely refrain from obstructing health but actively ensure conditions conducive to it. Menstrual health, being inseparably linked to the dignity, equality, and bodily autonomy of women and girls, falls squarely within this constitutional guarantee.
