23 year old. 111 kg. 1st day of her period. Silver medal for India🇮🇳 When Gyaneshwari Yadav stepped onto CWG platform, she wasn't just carrying weight on the bar. She was carrying cramps, discomfort & uncertainty..experiences that millions of women endure silently every month. Yet, she lifted 111kg and stood proudly. For generations, menstruation has been treated as something impure, something to be hidden, whispered about or endured in silence. Girls are asked to hide sanitary pads. Women are excluded from places and traditions. Their pain is dismissed as “normal”. And conversations about their bodies are wrapped in shame. Her story is a reminder that - Women bleed Women struggle Women endure Women rise And women lift nations..sometimes quite literally. Respect women...not only when they win medals, but also when they express pain, seek rest & demand dignity. Congratulations, Gyaneshwari. Thanku for leading the conversation and rewriting the rules. झंडा ऊँचा रहे हमारा। विजयी विश्व तिरंगा प्यारा 🇮🇳❤️
