Menstruation- Myths That are Prevalent and Still Circulating
Date – 23rd February 2022
Day/Time- Wednesday, 6 PM
Menstruation has always been surrounded by taboos and beliefs that keep women out of many sectors of society. Until now, the subject has been taboo in India. Many countries’ taboos surrounding menstruation have an impact on girls’ and women’s emotional well-being, mindset, lifestyle, and, most importantly, health. It’s becoming essential to combat such menstruation-related myths and taboos, but sometimes one doesn’t know how to go about it, which is pretty normal and okay. In this respect, the first and most important technique is to raise knowledge about menstrual health and cleanliness among adolescent females. Empowerment and Education are the two E’s that can help transform these norms and beliefs circulated about menstruation. Talk about it, Address the issue, Clear the misconceptions, don’t spread wrong information about things you are not sure of, and generally help normalize it.
In our upcoming PinkTalk episode, we will be joined by our very special guest, Dr. Shehla Jamal who will talk more about busting the myths and taboos surrounding Menstruation.
