It’s strange how society treats two natural parts of the human body so differently. Boys’ circumcision (sunnat) is often celebrated openly, with gatherings, gifts, and pride. But menstruation — an equally natural biological process — is hidden, silenced, and surrounded by shame. Why is one seen as something to celebrate, while the other is treated as something to hide? This double standard sends a harmful message to girls: that their bodies are embarrassing or “unclean.” It discourages open conversations, limits access to information, and makes girls feel ashamed of something completely normal. No one should feel embarrassed about their own body. If we can celebrate one natural process, we should at least be able to talk openly and respectfully about the other. Normalizing menstruation isn’t just about comfort — it’s about dignity, health, and equality. Donate via card: 5189 6900 6539 6673 🔔 Follow us on Telegram Instagram

Hey everyone! 🪷 We just wanted to say thank you for all the support lately. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes, and we have some exciting updates 🤚 ⭐️ We’re currently working on collaborations with companies so that, hopefully, more schools, universities, offices, and other public places will have free access to essential menstrual hygiene products, so woman is left in an uncomfortable situation. ➕ We’re also reaching out to larger period awareness platforms, and your support really matters because it can influence their decision to work with us. Lastly, we wanted to share a few stories that deserve more attention. These are real cases of girls and women whose lives were lost because of period stigma, shame, harmful traditions, and the lack of menstrual education. They remind us why talking about menstruation is so important. 🌨️ Here are 🌨️ Useful sources on periods news. Donate via card: 5189 6900 6539 6673 🔔Follow us on: Telegram Instagram

🤩🤩 🤩🤩 Menstruation is a natural biological process and a normal sign of a healthy reproductive system. Yet it is still widely misunderstood and often treated as something unusual or shameful. This misunderstanding fuels silence and misinformation. 🤩🤩 🤩🤩For centuries, menstruation has been considered a taboo. Many girls rely on euphemisms like “those days” to avoid judgment, which reflects how uncomfortable open discussion remains. As a result, girls often struggle to talk about their experiences, access reliable information, or ask for basic hygiene products. This silence creates shame, limits knowledge, and discourages them from seeking medical help when needed. 🤩To change this, we must normalize menstruation and treat it as a regular part of life. Every girl should have access to accurate information and essential hygiene products. By challenging myths, breaking stigma, and encouraging open conversations, we can empower girls to feel confident in their bodies and ensure they receive the care they deserve.🤩 🔔 Follow us on Telegram Instagram

Our mission is to place free sanitary product boxes in schools, universities, workplaces, cafés, orphanages, and other public spaces so no girl or woman is left unprepared.✨ 📌Uyalma is a non-profit initiative.
