Menstrual illiteracy
effects on human health-

CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM
Lack of Information from Schools: Most schools fail to adequately impart menstrual knowledge to girls, rendering them unprepared.
Health Apps That Misguide: In some cases, health apps intend more to use better advertising for commercial purposes at the expense of sharing credible knowledge regarding menstruation.
Stigma and Absence of Open Dialogue: Menstruation stigma restricts open dialogue, forcing girls to look out for dubious information.
Generalized Advice of Apps: Most of the apps available give general advice on menstruation that's uninformed by one's experience and specific needs.
