Girls remain ignorant about their physical transition

A large portion of adolescent girls miss school during their menstruation, stated by Dr Nowsheen Sharmin Purabi. She added that, reasons behind remaining absent in schools are, inadequate knowledge on menstrual hygiene and  lack of toilet facilities in schools. They feel uncomfortable going out this time of the month.

Menstruation is a natural process, however, there are no open discussion on such matter in society nor in family. Most of the cases, when a girl enters in this process, she is ignorant about her physical transition and hygiene that she needs to maintain.
