  • June 16, 2017 - Kolkata, west bengal, India - Kolkata, West Bengal ,India : The Modi government has imposed a 12% G.S.T on sanitary napkins, while traditional patriarchal marker symbols like Sindoor have been made tax free. Out of 33 crore 50 lakh .women who menstruate in this country, only 30% have access to sanitary napkins, the rest 70% are compelled to use sand and dry wood, thereby causing cervical cancer which takes away 80,000 lives .yearly. Instead of making sanitary health widely accessible, the imposition of 12% G.S.T. makes the right to sanitary health more rare and limited, confined to a few and subject to the directives of world .capitalism, international pharmaceutical lobbies and the Modi Government. This tax reinforces the traditional patriarchal stigma and taboo upon such a normal bodily process as menstruation. An .humanitarian activist group of Kolkata called ' ebong Manobi ' organised a programme infront of Jadavpur university to aware people and to raise voice  against this heinous tax.
