Daniela Schröder “Ein Mann für die Tage“
Only one in ten Indian women uses tampons or sanitary pads. The majority uses old rags, newspaper or grass. Muruga, a locksmith, was moved his wife’s monthly plight and developed a simple process for the cheap production of sanitary pads. This machine is the key to a worldwide revolution in personal hygiene that promises greater freedom to women in the low-income sector. Hamburg-based reporter Daniela Schröder tells Muruga’s story and the impact that one small invention can have on the rest of the world.
