Watch, Learn, and Break the Silence: The Need to Teach Menstruation

In our fast-evolving world, education plays a pivotal role in shaping the mindset of young minds. While academic subjects form the foundation, life skills and awareness about essential topics are equally important. One such critical topic that often gets overlooked in school curricula is Sex Education and Menstrual Awareness.

                  Menstruation is a natural biological process, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized topics in society. As future educators, we believe it's essential to break the silence and promote awareness, especially in school environments.

Video shooting, editing and uploading is a part of our B.Ed second semester curriculum, our group—Shamna Shams, Arunima M. S., Soja S. Joy, Riya Geevarghese, and Manna Mariam Johns—chose to focus on "The Importance of Teaching About Menstruation."

➤Why This Topic?

Menstruation is a part of life for half the population, yet it’s often shrouded in myths, misconceptions, and cultural taboos. Lack of proper education leads to feelings of embarrassment, confusion, and even health issues. 

Teaching about menstruation in schools can:

✹Promote Hygiene and Health: Students learn the basics of menstrual health, proper hygiene practices, and the importance of tracking their cycles.

✹Break the Stigma: Open discussions help dismantle the shame often associated with menstruation.

✹Empower Young Girls: Knowledge fosters confidence, reduces anxiety, and helps girls feel more in control of their health.

➤The Impact We Hope to Create :

✦Foster an environment where students can openly discuss menstrual health without fear or embarrassment.

✦Encourage schools to include menstrual education in their curricula.

✦Empower both boys and girls with knowledge, promoting empathy and understanding.

"ഒരു പുതിയ തുടക്കം" (A New Beginning) is a video symbolizes our hope for a future where menstruation is no longer a taboo but a topic of knowledge, acceptance, and respect.

Let’s take this step together toward breaking the silence and creating a healthier, more informed generation.
