Period-shame is rooted in gender inequality. 🚫 Many cultural and religious beliefs about periods come from discriminatory ideas about the role and value of girls in society. Madhu reflects on what it means to grow up without information, and the power that comes with finally understanding your body and your rights. It is critical that education about periods starts early and includes all genders, to tackle taboos and stigma, and promote gender equality. 🩸 Together, we must #EndPeriodStigma ✊🏼 #MenstrualHygieneDay #MHDay2026
