Beyond the stigma: Empowering women through untold period stories

When Pooja Bista posted a blog about her first period, it got flagged by the website for violating community guidelines. She had shared the post with a picture of a representative picture of a vulva which did not go down well with someone who reported it leading to the post being flagged.

“That person was so triggered by it that he had to report it. That day I felt I needed to share more period experiences to offend people like him,” says Bista.
