A really impressive journey! I am really amazed by your comitmment! Keep up the good work, #KekiAdhikari! Wish you best of luck for winning the prize at #film4health
Very good video on a very relevant topic (menstrual hygiene management) which is still a taboo in many countries and a main barrier for gender equality, human health and social development in general. You do a very important job!
Commendable.. This shouldn’t be taboo anymore. It’s natural phenomenon for women. It’s important to talk these issues like period as every men should know about it. Kudos to the Team for the wonderful concept .
This is reality of women in rural areas of Nepal and India even in this age of 21st century where discussion on menstruation can be taboo and such kind of workshop or documents will help in creating awareness among older and younger generation of our society..thanks for your hardwork and help which will help to solve such problems and free all girls from tje fear of this taboo....
Thank you for the film about this sensitive topic. It should reach every girl (and also boy!!!) in Nepal and India. Even to every girl and boy in the world. Where they still think that menstruation is a taboo. Please keep doing und teach the world that it a natural thing which happens in every female body.
Wonderful video! Really shows the importance that schools have and how lockdown periods could throw back development in many areas... All the best to these young people for fighting for change!
I remember my teenage years in my rural village in Kipsaina, Kenya. God, forbid you have (in lack of a better word) ‘period over-flow’, you will be the laughing stalk of the entire school. I also remember how this started to change, with peer educators coming around offering sessions on menstrual hygiene. I remember us giggling in discomfort during the demonstrations on how to use a sanitary towel and each of the girls in the upper classes got one sample for free. I remember when I first had my period and realized that the sanitary towels were too expensive, the only option left were rugs from old clothes. I remember being told not to go to the farm while on my period because the vegetables will dry (bless my mum, she dismissed this as utter myth). Nepal may be thousands of miles away from my village in Kenya, but the experiences of many girls regarding menstruation are not. Schools are the number one starting place in changing the narratives, taboo, norms, and shame around menstruation. I call on religious and faith leaders, to rally and support the end of religious beliefs and rituals attached to menstruation because there is nothing impure or unclean about menstruation. On the contrary, it is the most God given gift!
Change does happen! It may take time, a lot of effort, and determination, but when the school together with other stakeholders work together, slowly, but surely, girls will be better equipped to address their own needs without having to fear the backlash from the community. It is also very inspiring to see the male teenagers transform as they widen their perspectives about menstrual health and hopefully, they will be more compassionate when their female siblings, friends and classmates are going through the challenges of having the monthly period. Intergenerational dialogue on such topics is very essential to empower the youth to discuss sensitive topics with their elders. Congratulations to all stakeholders who contributed to this project and the movement for dignified menstruation!
Great and informative video about such an important topic! Hopefully this will reach many many more people - Good luck and success for your future journey!
This is so amazing, menstruation is not something to be a shame of. We need work collective to be such a great step to end stigma and shame on it. Thank you for your efforts and commitment, from all of us #YAPD4Africa Nigeria!
This is amazing! Talking about periods are getting easier these days among young people too. Thanks to these advocacies! Great work!!!
