Abstract
The objective of this conceptual paper is to problematise the unhygienic menstrual practices among rural women in India. The present literature is highly quantitative in nature pointing out the facts and figures about the pressing situation without much work done in posing a solution. The aim of this paper is to propose a development communication strategy based on the theory of positive deviance to spread awareness about the health issues related to the prevalent unhygienic menstrual practices.
