One would ask why young ladies in most denied networks across the Bono East Region keep on having night female horses when now is the right time to encounter their month to month feminine periods.

Miss Alberta Fosuwaa, first year understudy of the Aworopataa Junior High School and her companions express concern over the expense of feminine cushion which goes for GHC12.50 locally. She showed that they can't manage the cost of it so they some of the time look for favors from men and young men who could assist them with purchasing the cushions toward the finish of each and every month. She focused on that the main choice left for them is to utilize unhygienic materials, for example, clothes which in the long run give them diseases.
