S-1-Episode-4-Menstruation Is Not Shameful- Dr.Yadanar G-Taw Zagar Wyne
-
- Society & Culture
This week, meet Gtaw, Yadanar who is a doctor and an SRHR advocate from Yangon. In this episode, she shares memorable experiences with her first-time bleeding and how she attached shame around it. She also offers us a medical point of view on menstruation: why we bleed, what happens when we bleed or not bleed. She greatly takes time on deconstructing myths around menstruation and explains why they are not logical or medically approved. She emphasizes how damaging this harmful cultural practice is- for our mental, physical health. Many young girls in Myanmar are told not to take shower during menstruation and we asked Yadanar if that’s true. She suggests we do what we want to do like every day when we bleed and there is no need for any changes in lifestyles. Her passion, knowledge and constant advocacy on Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights will certainly give you many inspirations to stand up and speak up against inequality.
