We need to stop period shaming. Sadly, girls around the world are shamed for their periods, to the point where girls literally die in menstrual huts. Periods are given as a reason women should not be leaders. Tampons and pads are taxed as a luxury. Girls are taught to hide the fact that they get periods, and the list goes on.
