How ironical is this?! We live in one of the second most populated country in the world and yet talking about topics like sex and menstruation in a healthy way is considered a taboo.
Most of the schools in India do not even give proper sex education to young kids. Not only that, in most schools menstruation is only discussed in hushed tones, without any sort of biological explanation of the process. Even when we might understand the biology of the process, there are so many questions that arise when a young girl is passing through this delicate stage of development.
In this animated clip, Disney has explained how menstruation is nothing strange but a healthy cycle of nature’s eternal plan for passing on the gift of life. This film produced by Walt Disney was shown to 105 million American students in health education classes. We wonder, why can’t we show this in every classroom across our country too?
