Women’s health and hygiene form the foundation of a community’s overall well-being, yet these areas remain among the most neglected in many rural regions of India. Despite continuous efforts by the government, educational institutions, and civil society organisations, there persists a wide gap between policy intentions and ground realities, especially in marginalised and semi-urban villages. Village Girdharpur, located in a developing rural belt, reflects this complex landscape where social traditions, limited resources, gender norms, and infrastructural deficiencies intersect to shape the health outcomes of women and adolescent girls. This Community Connect study seeks to explore, document, and understand the health-related issues of women in Girdharpur, with a particular focus on personal hygiene practices, menstrual hygiene management (MHM), sanitation facilities, and community-level perceptions that influence these practices.
