In a country with such a large menstruating population, it is still surprising to note the lack of awareness regarding menstruation.

Shockingly, even parents and teachers often shy away from educating their adolescent menstruators due to the massive stigma that continues to surround this topic. As a result, first time menstruators have so many questions that run through their minds with regards to the reason and process of menstruation.
