Why is it difficult to talk about menstruation and access to sanitary pads in Pakistan?

 While buying sanitary pads, I am wondering if Pakistani women will ever be able to get these products for free like in Scotland. It seems impossible to me, and it may take less than half a century for us to get these items to the doorsteps of our homes, or only to have the taxes levied on them abolished or reduced.

In Scotland, the government's decision is aimed at eradicating period poverty.

The situation in Pakistan is that if I don't use the khaki envelope with the rack of the sanitary pad at any department store in the city, any member of staff there will stop me from covering it till I reach the counter, And even if I get to the counter, I will have to face strange glances.

Hardly any girl would dare to buy it from a street corner store because it is still considered impolite to talk openly about menstruation and related topics here and many girls get the right information about it. Do not happen
