Period Postive

#periodtalk #periodpositive

I always ponder how do I make my family and friends understand that periods is not a stigma. It is not a taboo. I really do not like the “untouchability” part that is being followed in my family. They say – don’t touch the household stuff, don't sleep on bed, no cooking. Many will argue that this is for the well-being of the female so that she can take rest in her periods.

My question here is :

• If she can go to school, college or office and mingle with her friends and colleagues, why is she being asked to stay aloof at home.

• If she can travel in a bus to go to the office, then why is she being asked not to enter the kitchen.

• If she can work on office laptops, then why is she being asked not to touch the household stuff.

• If she can avail a seat in the bus, she can sit in an office chair, why is she being asked to sleep on the floor.

• If a girl does not menstruate, will you ever accept her as your daughter in law, I am sure many won’t.

We need to educate and enlighten ourselves to leave this mentality. I request all the beautiful ladies to start contemplating on this.
I know this will take time. But WE CAN and WE WILL
