The management of menstrual hygiene is becoming a significant issue on the international health agenda and a central part of gender equity, as it determines the physical, psychological, and dignity of women and their involvement in the labour force. The lack of proper menstrual hygiene and endemic sociocultural taboos still restrict the full involvement of women in the work-related context, even in the urban and economically advanced context. This current project was conducted to examine the view of menstrual hygiene practices and obstacles that working women face in a metropolis city. A qualitative study design was used, with data collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews of working women from different occupational backgrounds. Data analysis was done using thematic analysis. Themes that emerged included menstrual awareness and knowledge, menstrual product use, hygiene and disposal, workplace sanitation adequacy, impact on work performance, and sociocultural beliefs and stigma. The results are projected to add useful knowledge on the experienced life of working women in city settings and to demonstrate a lack of menstrual hygiene care in the workplace.
