Author(s) Ms. Ayshath Mishal H, Dr. Vidya Vinutha Dsouza
Country India
Abstract Menstruation is a natural biological process experienced by woman. It remains socially sensitive and often stigmatise the topic in many parts of India. Men’s perception plays an important role in shaping societal attitudes towards menstruation, influencing women’s experience at home, workplace, and in the community. Chauhan (2025) investigates the determination of men's attitude, impact and awareness towards menstruation. Mason (2017) explores the understanding of boys about menstruation and their attitudes towards the same. This study focuses on the perception of men in Mangalore regarding menstruation with particular on their awareness and attitude towards menstrual health. The primary objective of the study is to assess the level of knowledge men have about menstruation and to explore their attitudes. A Descriptive Research design was adopted for the study. Data were collected from male respondents in Mangalore using a semi structured questionnaire by non-probability, specifically Convenient Sampling Method . The study shows that many respondents reported limited exposure to formal menstrual knowledge because of lack of education in schools and lack of communication in families regarding the topic. Additional differences were observed based on age, education level, although some men expressed supportive and empathetic attitudes, others perceive menstruation as a private or taboo topic that should not be discussed openly. The study highlights the need for inclusive awareness programmes that actively involve men in menstrual health education that will help men in understanding women and problems faced by women which helps encourage open communication and also to reduce stigma.
