The new “Menstrual Activism “
Date - 5th December 2022
Time - 6 pm

Despite the fact that the monthly cycle symbolizes fertility in women and other people with uteruses, society considers menstruators to be "unclean" when they menstruate. Menstruation is considered taboo in today's society because it contradicts the social construct of femininity, which demands fragility, innocence, and beauty.   Given the widespread misconceptions regarding the female reproductive system, it is necessary to mainstream the conversation surrounding menstruation. Because males are not included in the debate and menstruation is very briefly discussed in sex education, there are misconceptions regarding the vagina and the menstrual cycle. Women are instructed to keep this process a secret in order to please males by gendering the subject as a feminine issue. Women would internalize periods as shameful if menstruation is framed as a private dialogue and that hiding periods is required to prevent unwanted perceptions. 

Hence, today we’ll be having a talk on the importance of talking about periods and how one can normalize it!
