A woman is expected to further a family by being fertile but at the same time, she’s considered to be a taboo for being fertile.

In India, many adolescent girls, in rural areas drop out of school during the onset of their menstrual cycle due to the lack of proper menstrual hygiene facilities and logical awareness of menstruation.

Menstruation does not make a woman impure, PERIOD.
