Al Jazeera releases video on 'Menstruation Man'
Al Jazeera on Tuesday released a short video on Arunachalam Muruganantham, a social entrepreneur from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, who has created a low-cost sanitary pad making machine. He came up with the idea after realising that women in rural areas use unhygienic methods to address their menstruation cycles. The machines can manufacture napkins for one-third the cost of commercial pads.
