Menstrual health is a fundamental aspect of woman’s life. Safe and hygienic menstrual hygiene management is essential for protecting women’s health, dignity, and overall well-being. However, menstrual hygiene is often overlooked during disaster in India. When disaster strikes, minimum relief standards primarily focus on basic survival needs such as food, water, and shelter while the menstrual hygiene needs of women and adolescent girls are often neglected. The lack of sanitary products, privacy, safe sanitation facilities, and proper waste disposal not only affects health but also compromises dignity. The traditional or cultural norms of the society still reinforce negative perspective towards menstrual health and menstrual hygiene management. This study investigates the condition of menstruation hygiene management during disasters in India. It will also examine the socio-cultural, economic and institutional factors contributing to its non-prioritisation. The study further explores the legal and policy framework that shapes menstrual hygiene governance with other notable state-level initiatives. Despite the existence of disaster management laws in India, there are no specific provisions addressing menstrual hygiene.  The famous jurist John Rawls, in his book A Theory of Justice, emphasises that a just society must ensure fairness in the distribution of resources and opportunities. This paper argues that menstrual hygiene should be recognised as a core element of disaster management policy. This paper also critically examines the legislative gaps and calls for better laws, policies, and awareness to ensure that menstrual hygiene is not as a luxury health issue but a matter of human rights even during disasters.
