PERIOD LEAVES , AN OPEN CHALLENGE FOR WOMEN
For the first time in the history of India , Prime Minister talked about sanitary pads very openly in the public forum on the occasion of Independence Day speech at lalquilla ground on 15th August 2020. This speech is truly a progressive idea. Now , this made menstruation a mainstream topic. Undoubtedly this is very welcome move among our conservative society where this has never been openly talking. Due to taboo, women of all age groups under the menstruation time are suffering silently. At the earlier time they are keeping aloof at least for three days.
