Period Poverty and the Fight Against Socio-Cultural Stigmas | Episode 08

In today’s episode, we will together explore a major stigma in various cultures and spaces i.e. Periods. I am going to start off with how this physiological process of bleeding continuously for 6-7 days was labeled a luxury. How much does the Pakistani awam know about menstruation, and how well-aware are Pakistani women about Menstrual Hygiene Management? There are so many projects and campaigns in Pakistan fighting to remove the stigma of menstruation so young girls cannot be stopped from sitting in classrooms during their period.
