| Abstract |
Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is very important in the social and economic development of a country, especially Malaysia. It refers to physical and emotional well-being, also including the ability to be free from unplanned pregnancy, unsafe abortion, domestic violence, sexually transmitted diseases, AIDS/HIV and good and perfect menstrual management. The issues of period poverty has gained attention in Malaysia although it is not a new social phenomenon. The issue of poverty exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic has become a cancer in the discussion of period poverty. |
