确实，谈论经期会让很多人不舒服。这种禁忌有它的后果：在印度十分之三的女孩甚至在她们第一次月经时不知道月经是什么，各种有关月经的习俗限制造成了对年轻女孩的心理伤害。同这种禁忌一起长大的阿迪提·古普塔希望女孩，父母和老师谈论经期时可以更加舒服，不再需要怀着羞耻。她分享了她是如何做到的。

谈论生理期不再是禁忌

Social entrepreneur, co-founder of Menstrupedia

Silence and shame around menstruation leave millions of girls unprepared and stigmatized, with some believing their first period signals a deadly illness. In India, 88 percent of girls and women manage periods with unhygienic methods, risking health and self-esteem. Changing the narrative with open conversation and engaging education helps dismantle damaging myths and customs, creating space for dignity and empowerment. When communities support girls in learning about their bodies, periods become a sign of growth—not disgrace.
