Bleeding from their body is already a sheer discomfort and physically aching experience for women. (1/3)

Menstrual taboos and stigma further impair women to feel embraced in the society, heightening the distress they struggle every day to cope with; it becomes psychologically disorienting for women to look out at a world where their reality doesn't exist.

It is time to abolish the absurd silence and shame that mantle this natural biological event. Menstruation, a sign of good health, must be normalised, and celebrated.

What a world it could've been if women were allowed to have the freedom to hold a pen and go to a temple when desired rather than being behind closed doors, termed "untouchable" for something that is responsible for the existence of mankind!

What is red is what gave you life. We, ma chhune(म छुने), intend to share awareness about menstruation normalization and help women live the free life that they deserve. ❤️
