Despite period being a very normal and natural occurrence, in many countries of the world, period is still seen in a shameful, unclean and negative issue. Most countries do not have the environment to allow open conversations and discussions about period. It is time to bring down the wall of silence and narrow-mindedness that surrounds the topic of period. There are many reasons why even now it has not been possible to ensure healthy periods worldwide. One reason is that many girls are not given the correct information about their period. As a result, girls have to face various problems in the workplace, educational institutes and in daily life.
Female workers of the garments industry stay absent at work 6 days a month on average due to period-related complications. 97% of women suffer from cervical infections at various times due to unhygienic periods. They also suffer from diseases such as exposed uterus, UTI and RTI. Which results in complications originating in the womb. This kind of problems also hampers sex lives.
