The Sterlite Copper has joined hands with a non-governmental organisation to establish a sanitary napkin production unit at Saaminaththam near here as part of the livelihood programme that creates awareness of menstrual hygiene and ensures the health of women. Coupled with a paucity of suitable income generation activities, it is challenging for women in rural areas to make independent choices about their health. Towards bridging the gap between awareness and access to menstrual hygiene products, Sterlite Copper has set up a sanitary napkin production unit, says A. Sumathi, Chief Operating Officer, Sterlite Copper, who inaugurated the unit on Saturday.
