#MyPeriodStory: Workplace Challenges On Period Time

woman with a poster saying 'We Bleed, Get Over It'

Working every day gives happy and satisfaction. During menstrual times working in workplace is big difficult and not at all comfort compared to non mentrual days. I feel disturbed physically and mentally and feel physically sick with legs pain and stomach pain. I work in government high school sometimes water availability is not frequent available I find very difficult to change my pad in school by this I afraid of geeting infections diseases die to poor hygiene during period time. I feel to take leave during menstrual time. There is no availablity of dustbins to throw used pads. I work as social mobiliser as part of my work I will have homevisits, stakeholders meetings, parents meetings during period time going to home visits and return to school to change pad is highly impossible I feel uncomfort and nervous during visits whether my pad is full or it’s leaking I’m unable to concentrate on my work during period time. So I will plan my time table based on my period time and I will plan my visits. Being working mother I will take care my health and family. More toilets facilities should be need in government schools to maintain menstrual hygiene.

Thanking you
