Periods are just a normal and natural thing; every girl has to go through this phase. It’s our responsibility that we make them feel comfortable and relax. But in today’s time, there are people who still think it’s a taboo. Women’s rather than showing generosity and making the girls comfortable, treat as if something unusual has happened.
To break the stigma around periods many celebrities like Sanya Malhotra, Genelia D’souza and others have come forward to support the girls getting their first period amid lockdown. Because it is termed that in the course of lockdown over 2 million girls will get their first period.
Sanya Malhotra wrote, “You exist because, we bleed! Periods are natural, and nothing to feel embarrassed about. Over 2 million girls will get their first period this lockdown. Let’s make sure that they don’t go through this alone. This #WorldMenstrualHygieneDay, I choose to end the taboo associated with periods and talk openly about it. Because, after all, #ItsJustPeriod…If you believe the stigma around periods should end and want to show your support for it, share a post with a picture like this, tag @stayfreeindia and use #ItsJustAPerios. Because every voice matters”
Genelia Dsouza also expressed her views, she wrote, “Reposted from @geneliad Treat periods as normal & natural as any hormonal change. we should not categorize it. The change starts with YOU. Over 2 million girls will get their first period this lockdown. Let’s come together to make sure that they don’t go through this alone.
