In India,there are many myths surrounding the menstruation phenomenon which inhibit the movement of women.Food related restrictions,hiding the fact that you are on your periods,not having open and honest conversations about menstruation,etc. leads to creating an environment filled with unnecessary paranoia and misinformation.
I have recently written a Campus Diaries article on why it is important to dispel menstrual myths.
