Istina je: ljudima je neugodno od priča o menstruacijama a takav tabu ima i svoje posljedice: u Indiji tri od deset djevojaka ne zna što je menstruacija u trenutku kada dobiju svoju prvu mjesečnicu, a ograničavajući običaji vezani uz njih psihički štete mladim djevojkama. Govornica Aditi Gupta i sama je odrasla uz ovaj tabu, pa je znala da želi pomoći djevojkama, roditeljima i profesorima da razgovaraju o ovoj temi bez srama. U ovom govoru govori nam kako je to postigla.

So when I started getting my periods,
44
126840
2055
Kad sam počela dobivati mjesečnice,
02:20
I began with using rags.
45

After every use
I would wash and reuse them.

but I'll still list it

Ironically,
66

Ironično je to

05:03
He was astonished to know
that girls get painful cramps

Iznenadilo ga je to što imamo bolne grčeve

if we, being so well educated,
107
327920
2336
ako smo mi, educirani ljudi,
05:42
were so ill-informed about menstruation,
108
330280
2096
toliko pogrešno informirani o tome,

there would be millions of girls out there

to understand the problem better,
