Abstract: The paper deals with the results of a survey regarding menstrual health during Covid- 19
Lockdown carried out by an NGO, Sacchi Saheli. A range of questions were asked from the
subjects, and the results of the survey were then analysed using machine learningalgorithms like
categorical data encoding and model selection. The ML (Machine Learning) model prepared
from the results of the survey, showed correlation between different problems faced by women,
giving a plausible cause-effect relationship between various factors. All the results of the ML
model indicate high correlation of access to sanitary products, to hesitation in asking male
members of the family to get sanitary products from markets, gynaecological problems
experienced by women, if someone in the subject’s family have tested positive for Covid-19, and
hike in prices of sanitary products in local shops and markets. The conclusion points to the harsh
reality that societal norms and taboos regarding open discussion on menstrual health have led to
very low awareness, and extreme problems in access to proper sanitary products for many
women.
