Humans For Humanity: This 24-Yr-Old Man Is Teaching Rural Women To “Break The Bloody Taboo”
“Aapko bhi hota hai kya?” (Does this also happen to you?) asked a 40-something-year old woman from Rajasthan to Anurag Chauhan. The man, in his early 20s, was for sure taken aback at such an appalling question. Anurag and his team were at a village in Rajasthan, far away from the bustling noises of the city, trying to educate women and young girls on menstruation and menstrual hygiene — a topic of discussion which at best takes places inside closed doors under hushed tones. While everyone in that gathering laughed at the woman’s question, it struck a deep chord in Anurag’s mind. He realised that many women in Indian’s hinterlands are still unaware and uneducated on the very topic of menstruation.
