Society has transformed
from traditional phase to modern phase. But still there are some norms and
values which are followed in this society. People are being educated day by day,
but still why can’t they understand that menstruation is not a sin? Every
healthy women experience the menstruation.
Then, why in our society
we women have to go through a lot of problems? There are lots of restrictions
for us during our menstrual cycle. Such as prohibition to worship god, to go to
kitchen, to touch the male member of the family, to participate in traditional
functions, etc. I just want to ask why? Is it because of stereotyping? If
so, we young generations are well educated, we at least should not follow such
belief. But I have seen so many girls hiding about their menstruation cycle.
There is nothing to feel shy about or to hide
about. If girls experience menstruation, it is not their mistake. It is not in
their hands to decide about menstruation cycle. It is just a natural process. These
restrictions have always demoralized us, made us feel low. Now, it is time for
us to open up. Yes, I menstruate.We menstruate. Women menstruate. That’s why,
world is running smoothly.
I am proud to say," I menstruate".
