Period. End of Sentence. takes a significant step

Period. End of Sentence. takes a significant step for feminine growth in India. As menstruation is a taboo topic, it opens up a much-needed conversation about women's health. It brings to light the struggles women face about a natural part of life and promotes "The Pad Project" that not only supplies women with jobs but with much needed sanitary products. This short documentary is educational and inspiring as it takes steps to break down the stigmas and ignorance surrounding menstruation. It empowers women to help themselves in a culture that often has women as second class citizens.

It is absolutely unfortunate to admit that there

It is absolutely unfortunate to admit that there has always been a significant amount of stigma about periods and menstruation in India. Men had been so far from acknowledging it that it was pushed to be a taboo even amongst women. This documentary is primarily shot in the Hapur district lying on the outskirts of Delhi. Girls, boys, women and men all shy away from talking about periods. The documentary portrays two conflicting perspectives - people who think periods make women dirty, and people, particularly women, who question that when the goddess they worship is herself a woman, what could possibly be so bad about this menstruation that every woman has to experience? It can be seen that girls themselves have little knowledge about periods. Some are told that it is bad blood that their body gets rid of, while some have an idea that it is the reason why women can bear babies. While society lacks complete awareness, the problems don't end there. Pads are expensive. Most women don't use pads, heck, most have not even heard of that. They have never seen one up close and believe they could never afford to try one... Arunachalam Muruganantham, an inventor and social entrepreneur from the country, became the first to invent a low-cost sanitary pad-making machine in 2002. His attention was brought to this issue when he realized his wife went through her menstruation by reusing rags and schmattes, He succeeded in making a pad by 2005 and obtained a patent by 2006. This radical action has revolutionized what "sanitation during menstruation" means for women in rural parts of the country. In this documentary, women of Hapur are introduced to the concept of pads; and not solely that but also the machine employed to produce pads and its working. This provides the ladies with a golden and empowering opportunity to curb the difficulties of using clothes and other substituents, thus endowing them with employment. Women can now earn, women no longer need to hang their heads in dependence or shame about menstruation, and most importantly, women can now buy their own pads from women without feeling embarrassed about it. They manufacture their pads, "Fly" - I found it symbolic of how now, they are soaring high with their winds spread apart, nothing holding them back from dreaming anymore. Some of them want to be police, and some of them want to earn and make their parents proud. A woman is allowed to dream, she is allowed to fly, soar, and glide, and menstruation is by no means a restraint. Period.
