Awareness about periods is important

The date was March 27, 2024. A 14 year old girl committed suicide in Mumbai. She had her periods for the first time and did not know anything about it. For him, all this was like sudden bleeding from the body. The girl was shocked by this and committed suicide. Many such girls in the country go through so many scary thoughts on their first period.

There is so little awareness about periods in our country that it still remains a matter of shame. Women have to hide their period stains. Sanitary pads have to be kept hidden from the eyes of one’s brother and father. Because of this shyness, they are unable to know about their body throughout their life.

57% women do not know about their body

A survey by the United Nations Population Fund says that 57% of women in developing countries like India do not even have basic knowledge about their body.

Supreme Court judge raised the issue of periods literacy

Recently, Supreme Court judge Justice Sanjay Karol shared a picture of a woman and said that the woman has to spend 5 days in a tent outside her house during her periods.

what are periods

Periods are that part of the menstrual cycle, when there is bleeding from the woman’s vagina for a few days. In most women this happens at an interval of 28 days. Although this interval may be different for some women, it is also common to have periods at an interval of 21 days to 35 days.

People in our society consider periods as impure, whereas it is a symbol of a woman’s maternal power. Having periods means that a woman can become a mother. More importantly, women need more hygiene, more care and more support during periods. They are at risk of infection due to vaginal bleeding. Apart from this, they have to face many problems due to hormonal changes.

Women need extra care and support during periods

At present, leave is given during periods in many countries of the world. This holiday is given because the days of periods for women are very different from other days. During this time they go through problems like pain, mood changes and headache. They don’t even sleep properly. During this time they need a lot of physical and mental support. As a change, we should create a support system for female colleagues in the office, mothers, sisters and wives at home.
