Period Talks—A Classroom Transformed by Knowledge
“I feel happy knowing that if I get my period, I can talk to my teachers, and they will give me what I need to manage it. This makes me feel good because I won’t have to miss school.”
“The awareness session helped me understand that every girl gets periods, and it’s not a reason to miss school.”
“Before the session, I didn’t know how to manage my periods, so I stayed home during those days. Now that I’ve learned, I won’t miss school anymore.”
