A taboo-free way to talk about periods | Aditi Gupta | TEDxGatewayWomen

[@someperson5506]

We shouldn't laugh at boys being interested in the book. It's important for them to know, too.

[@nishakuttan2822]

some person Yes, it's important for men too, because it's about the human body. BTW, there are still many people/men who don't know that women don't urinate from their vagina!!!

[@Djinnk042]

Why? Luckily, there's another Tedxtalk called "Men need to talk about menstruation" that may help answer that question.

[@riddhimishmusic]

Yes. I am so lucky that my school is good enough to take around 2-3 workshops about periods when I was in grade 5. My teacher even drew a diagram of it.

[@annapurneshwari80001]

I completely agree with u

[@swimmergirl1453]

Yes we make it a taboo right from the beginning by not including them in such sessions in school and talking about it in hushed voices at homes and then suddenly we want to them to normalise this and accept it but we need to understand it will take time for them too

fortunately l learnt about menstrual cycle by my dad . I am so lucky , He told me everything about female body because i dont have mother to tell all these . Thanks Dad

[@MarenAnne66]

Here's my two cents; this unspoken rule of not talking about your period is actually a major hindrance in day-to-day life. I remember being in class and starting my period, and not being excused to go to the bathroom because I was told to hold it. But you can't hold in a period, so I was sitting there, too embarrassed and basically unable to communicate what was really happening to my male teacher, and having my underwear spotted with blood by the time class was over. I don't just want periods to be talking about, I want them to a part of absolute normalcy. When I'm in a meeting, I want to be able to say that I just need to go get a tampon really quick as easily as saying that I've got a nosebleed and need to run and grab some tissues. No shame, no embarrassment, no period jokes, because when half of the population experiences this every month, it should not be such a big deal.

An admirable and innovative way to teach about menstruation. But why should girls only learn about period? Why not the boys alike? After all it is a natural process that creates life.

[@Saffyj2012]

I agree boys should know too. I was 12 when i heard friends talking about bleeding to death. I ran home asked mum and she was clearly embarrassed. I was determined not to do the same with my daughter. We celebrated her first period even her father and brother got in on the act. I told her how special thks gift is. To be able to one day give birth.

[@RehnumaProshoon999]

That's the way!!!

[@mereiam]

Sreshtha Nayek she teaches boys too she just got used on the girls in this

[@MSNawaz-qk5xe]

U r 100% ri8..even boys should know this biological process and yes why would we feel embraced while discussing, If the boys would know then they will pass it to their child, in this way we at time later can be able to eliminate this inhuman way of maintaining menstruation.

[@surbhisakshi3276]

Yaa...I also agree...U r right...Boys should know too...👍

[@soniasingh7411]

I'm proud of the boys that wanted to learn... it shows empathy and compassion.

[@getfitwithashi9924]

I agree. The education on menstruation is important for them as well also considering movies, webseries and songs are over exposing them to the concept of making out and stuff. They need to know the effects of their actions on there own and the girls life. It will help raise a well aware generation. Instead of making fun of girls in periods about mood swings, etc. They will be more considerate and contribute in making world a lil better place for the girls and themselves.

[@puniyadeepa]

urgent topic to talk?yess...Aditi is 100% right about low level of awareness related to menstruation. In Delhi along with seven other metro cities,SHARP NGO is running this initiative with the help of Unicharm India.

[@sahiaadmi4196]

Some things are important regardless of gender..!!

[@someperson5506]

Both boys and girls should learn about periods when they're ten, before even the majority of early bloomers start getting them. That way girls aren't terrified that they're dying, and both genders are educated. Men need to interact with women and the overwhelming majority will have a sexual relationship with a woman at some point. They should be informed, both so they understand women better (and don't think women become irrational monsters on their periods, as some seem to think) and so they can educate female partners who don't know much about periods.

[@SolarpunkVince]

I grew up in the Netherlands, a pretty open country, but I only found out about periods from a book I read. The girl in it said something about 'menstruation' so I looked it up. My parents never told me anything, and school told me 'girls get periods', but nothing more. When I finally did learn more about it in school, I'd already been having my period for over a year.

[@honeydhaliwal835]

THE SPEECH IS SO GOOOOOOD

[@bhawanagavit2586]

When I was in 10th class I gave a speech on menstruation for my english elocution competition. My teachers, friends and students were surprised by my speech..... also some of my female friends asked me not to give a speech on menstruation. Atlast when it was time of prize distribution everyone was screaming my name but I didn't won because of my accent maybe but my principal and teachers appreciated me on stage for being confident and spoke about a taboo topic. Later my juniors, seniors, friends everyone appreciated me.

[@lalllll1447]

Me too I also want to talk about it . But i don't know how to do it.

[@why_r_u_watching_this]

I am also going to give speech on it not to win but so that everyone is aware of period

[@sanayasanaya5662]

i think every single girl should be taught about periods and about its whole process . they should be make aware that it is not a curse i think that it should be shown to older women first because they are the ones who taught the young girls about it and the restrictions during their periods , not to eat pickle or not to go to the temple or not to touch religious plants and many many more things . but with girls boys should also be taught about it to broke the mith but ya salute to aditi for doing all these things just amazing👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@PMcse]

Sanaya Sanaya U r right. The most important thing is the religious taboo. I never followed them because I don't find any logic behind them, but everywhere I face harsh criticism from the girls even younger to me for praying and touching​ religious idols during periods. So useless and pathetic those "grandmother rules" are but only for the sake of stupid orthodox norms we are asked to follow them. Even mostly grandmothers don't know the rational reason behind those restrictions but still they believe that those norms should be followed. Girls and specially old aunts really need to be awaken.

[@sanayasanaya5662]

Priyanka Mahajan ya i totally agree to your thoughts

[@whotfisdeeom]

Coming from the south Asian culture I fully agree with the speaker. The ignorance about menstruation cycle is not a rural problem rather its an urban phenomenon as well. I was 26 when a female friend told me in detail about menstruation. Not just the young girls need to learn about it but also boys should learn so they won't make insensitive period jokes.

[@parisharma873]

People also do period shaming, so we should spread awareness on that as well.

[@oikingwong2767]

It is not a taboo for Chinese and that's why Athlete FU Yuanhui talked about this in Rio.When i was in China, I talked about this with my close friends and guys friends too. Everybody can understand that it is just physiological phenomenon and why it is shame to talk about. When I was in period, my boyfriend also treated me like a queen because he knew I am not comfortable and he took very good care of me specially in those days.

[@athulabar1]

Yes, you are really great! Menstruation is a natural process, but in many Asian countries, people are reluctant to talk about it due to some sort of social restrictions (taboos). In human body, various changes are occurred at different ages; in the case of menstruation, it is a natural issue that is unique to females, on the other hand, males face some changes in their body too, so all these issues are extremely natural. With the school education system, it is so easy to educate these natural issues, so it is the ideal time now to be against these unrealistic taboos in our societies.

Thank you so much for such a valuable and inspirational video. I am a medico doing my MD in community medicine. My research is on adolescent girls , In which mensurational hygiene is one thing on which my research project is based upon. You won't believe, that not even the common ppl but the people from the medicine field also don't feel the need of this basic awareness among the community. My research proposal got rejected at the ethical committee meeting that this is a sensitive issue, this study should not be done. I almost got shocked that even in this era, where the advertisements about the use of sanitary napkins are so openly shared, they think that it is a sensitive issue. Finally I got approval on my research project, and this video came out to be a big inspiration to me.

Thank you so much Aditi Gupta and TED. I'm almost going to tear. Because, in my country some families still have that taboo especially the mothers just like you said. When i first said my mom that i'm having a period, she slapped me. it's a traditional way to get the girls ready to their new life. But it's not the right way to do that. And also it seems like girl's life completely change when they start to have periods. Even it has a good intention, it is not perceive like that from the girls. After that I remember that i want to do the same thing to my daughter. When i grew up, İ get rid of that idea of course. But somewhere in the world some girls can't do that. So thanks a lot to you for trying to change this.

[@someperson5506]

Not nearly as severe as the restriction she mentioned, but even in North America (probably in Europe too) there's a restriction: hiding pads and tampons on the way to the washroom, as if it's shameful to have a period.

[@urmum947]

some person okay we get it now stop commenting

[@someperson5506]

There really isn't a difference between putting more in one comment and stretching it between three. There is, however, a difference between scrolling past something that annoys you and being rude for no reason. This is a bit ironic, because I stopped commenting a week ago, and replying to something someone says makes them likely to comment again, to reply to you...

[@anshnoorkaur5994]

Our school used to take us for treks. I remember being shocked in class 4 when the accompanying teachers told us not to worry if you see blood and told us all about periods. Ironically some girls did get theirs. I have been one of those people to get it in class 8, and I was so excited. But now they suck. I didn't realise I'd have to go through that ordeal every month. Haha. I think I'm one of the lucky ones in this case, because our school had all sorts of seminars about periods (class 6), even about cleaning your genital area(class 8), hell they even told us about contraceptives and safe sex, if we were very eager to try it. (class 9)

[@Col.J.N.W.SinghKhandala]

In a country where talking openly about human beings' private parts is looked down upon and portrayed even in a stupidly funny manner in movies for example: laughing when someone farts, not realising the fact that flatulence is a very acute problem in irritable bowel syndrome and that frequent farts are not something that is comfortable for the stomach. Or when someone (another man or woman) hits another man in his private parts, people laugh not realising that any rough impact to the reproductive organ can cripple that person lifelong, it is not surprising that menstruation and puberty are looked down upon as taboo subjects. Even sanitary napkins advertisements castigate women to be cautious about wearing white pants during 'those days of the month'. To be frank, do I really give a damn about my pant colours if I pee or bleed in it? The first thing that I want to do is get rid of the wet feeling and then think about everything else. The day we start viewing human anatomy (men and women) seriously and stop making nonsensical jokes about it, is the day we will be able to think freely and deeply about these things. Nothing that keeps me from leading a normal and bodily comfortable daily life is funny or taboo. It is my right to be rid free of bodily discomfort in my everyday life.

4:53 This reminds me of a talk about menstruation with a coworker....she was kinda shocked that we talked about menstruation like it was normal; i did my best to make her comfortable and not be ashame, it was her first time talking about that subject with a man.
