Sanitary wear of the highest quality must be available for girls?

Hearing about cow dung and maize cobs being used for menstruation management in this day and age is shocking. Adequate basic sanitary wear and pads should be available to allow girls to attend school instead of hiding at home as they fear the consequences of attending classes with the risk of their menstruation cycle being exposed. Sanitary wear of the highest quality must be available for girls to be able to play netball and engage in sport at school. However, the high cost of sanitary pads continues to hamper effective menstruation management by women and girls. For one to import sanitary wear into the country he or she needs to pay Zimbabwe Revenue Authority 20 percent duty and 15 percent value-added tax, resulting in sanitary-wear products becoming unaffordable. Therefore, there is need for the government to strategize ways in which sanitary wear can be made cheaper and more accessible especially for the young girls without any means.
