Abstract- ‘Right to Life’ is one of the most fundamental and essential human rights as recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a document which has set forth and reclaimed human dignity and certain inherent equal rights. Along with this, ‘Right to Education’ is another such guarantee that helps in instilling a sense of consciousness in one’s personality and is a basic constituent of ‘Right to Life’. Menstrual hygiene, its management and rights attached to it are an inseperable component in the lives of females. However, young girls coming from poor financial backgrounds suffering the brunt of illiteracy and poverty experience the damaging effects of social taboos relating to menstruation on their overall personalities. The present research paper analyses the present status of young girls when it comes to menstruation, menstrual management practices adopted by them, kinds of hazardous materials they have to use to regulate the flow of menstrual blood due to lack of sufficient financial resources and various health complications arising due to the same. This research also seeks to study the co-relation that exists between Right to Menstrual Health and Right to Life. A recently decided domestic case law on Menstrual Hygiene and Right to Education has also been referred and discussed for the present study.
