Breaking the Stigma: Why We Need to Talk About Periods

Despite being a natural biological process, menstruation is often surrounded by stigma and silence. This lack of open discussion can lead to misinformation, shame, and even health issues.

Breaking the silence around menstruation

Here's why we need to talk more openly about periods:

1. Education: Open discussions lead to better understanding of menstrual health.

2. Normalisation: Talking about periods helps remove the unnecessary shame and embarrassment.

3. Health Awareness: Open conversations can help identify menstrual disorders early.

4. Policy Change: More discussion can lead to better policies around menstrual products and education.

The more we talk about periods, the less power the stigma has over us.

Let's start by having open, honest conversations about menstruation with friends, family, and in our communities. Every voice counts in breaking the stigma.
