THE STIGMA OF PERIODS

 Periods, a natural procedure of a woman’s body is yet considered so impure. People in 21st century still have this orthodox thinking regarding the menstruation commonly known as periods. Women are put to so many restrictions, often they are ill-treated. 

Society has affected the minds of people in such a negative manner that people feel shy to talk about this topic. They don’t want to discuss it even in personal.

People need to understand the reason of the menstrual cycle. In brief, it is the purest blood of the body which is used to feed the child inside the womb and if the woman is not pregnant, the nutritious blood along with the white precipitate break and that leads to menstruation.

On one hand we celebrate the birth of a child who is covered with this pure blood. On the other hand, we disrespect this in periods time by claiming it to be impure.

It’s high time to get rid of this poor mentality. It affects so many women around the globe. They have to quit their education, their work and they feel that they themselves are polluted and dirty.
