Lahu Ka Lagaan was a social media campaign by She Says India, a non-profit organisation, to remove the 12% taxation on sanitary napkins in India to make sanitary napkins tax-exempt. Lahu Ka Lagaan translates to 'the tax on blood' from Hindi. The campaign was launched in April 2017, following the release of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rates being rolled out by the Indian government, that placed sanitary napkins at the second lowest tax slab of 12%. The campaign received widespread attention, when celebrities like Mallika Dua, Cyrus Broacha, Vishal Dadlani and Aditi Rao Hydari used their social media influence to voice their support for the campaign, and asked the Indian finance minister Arun Jaitley to make sanitary napkins to be made tax-free.

The primary objective of the campaign, besides the tax exemption on sanitary napkins, was to ensure the implementation of governmental schemes of providing low-cost pads and vending machines for the dispensation of sanitary pads, affecting girls' access to education and livelihoods.
