Writing Contest: How To Talk Periods?

One of the best ways to create a future free of menstrual taboo is to raise our next generation right. How about every one making sure that we tell our kids, younger sisters and brothers about menstruation at the right age. In this writing contest we are calling for entries of conversation that you had or plan to have with you younger ones about periods.

Write about what you would have expected an elder to say you about periods when you were young.

Tell us what you wanted your science teacher to teach you about periods in school

Write, how you wanted you elder sister to tell you about your periods so that you grew up to become an informed man.

We’re looking to reward the best stories and views that would help others to ease the conversation about periods.
