  There are roughly 3.9 billion women in this world. Of those 3.9 billion women, 2.3 billion women lack access to basic sanitation methods. That leaves us with 1.6 billion women that have access to basic sanitation. Of those 1.6 billion women,  according to WaterAid , 800 million women, aging from puberty to 35-40 years of age, are menstruating.
