Problem Space The problem space became evident from the overarching themes. Existing services are targeting adolescents and young people. However, there are so many menstruators above the age of 18 (non-school goers) who are left out. Women may have some access to information but it is hard to tell if the information is being retained by them. Moreover, there is no assurance about the credibility of the information they receive. Women should be able to notice when something is usual, make connections and say "something is wrong here". Once they are aware of any unusual symptoms, they must be confident enough to seek help.
