I was scrolling through my newsfeed, this morning, while having my coffee and saw this. Good follow up on such a thread.

Title:Teaching Girls to Have Shame-Free Periods


>>>but you don’t have to do this for a living to see that the debilitating effects of this shaming go far beyond the embarrassment of “the talk” in elementary school.

For girls around the world, period taboos severely limit access to education and the ability to maintain sound reproductive health. In India, for example, a 2010 study found that over*300 million*reproductive-age women and girls use old rags, mattress filling or whatever else they could find during their periods in lieu of sanitary products<<<

I remember hearing about the rag bucket. So thankful that the women in my family didn't shame, generation to generation.
