Negligence in menstrual hygiene can result in biological disorders for example different sorts of infections but unfortunately awareness concerning this area of life is not highlighted due to socio- cultural trends of our society.

Flood 2010 was one of the most terrible disasters in the history of Pakistan. It all began in July 2010 following heavy monsoon rains in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Baluchistan regions of Pakistan. The estimations indicated that over two thousand people have died and over a million homes have been destroyed. The United Nations estimates that more than twenty million people are injured or homeless as a result of the flooding exceeding the combined total of individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. However, the death count in each of those 3 disasters was significantly higher than the number of people killed in this flood. At one point, approximately one-fifth of Pakistan’s total land area was underwater due to the flooding.
