Episode 3: Menstruation and Other Taboos

Brown Girl Like Me by Jaspreet Kaur

Available for over a year

Jaspreet Kaur recalls starting her periods as a teenager, when it was treated as a secretive and furtive rite of passage; and asks how the South Asian community can break the taboos around menstruation. She talks frankly about how she has come to understand - and appreciate - her own body, and encourages other women to do the same.
