    Broke my heart when those boys called periods a disease
  • Much much respect to this Indian man and his ambition to help providing women with pads..much love!!!
  • @nitupanwar61
    "Because the goddess we pray to, she's also a woman just like us" this statement is so powerful in its own way
  • @iloveeveryone47
    “I want to go in police force” “Why?” “To escape from marriage” This just broke my heart 💔

    This is why education is important. When I say education I don't mean just learn mathematics and what not, but learning about REAL LIFE. Unfortunately my mother also grew up having to think that she needs to be ashamed of her period and she too used cloths.
  • Seeing this makes me realize how lucky i am. I’m Indian and my mom talks about this to me so casually and comfortably. I’m in America so that most likely why, but it breaks my heart seeing girls the same age as me being taught to see their period as a sin

    When my periods first started my mother was on her work in her office... I was in home with my Dad and literally that time he was the one to tell me about periods and tell me how natural they were in a girl's life and also how to use a pad... Later I talked with my mother on phn after she was free from her meeting... I see my father as an ideal man and of course he's my best friend... Definitely we need more people like my father.... I feel so blessed to have parents like them.... ♥ Edit:- OMG thank you for so many likes.... Its my highest on any of my comment till now ❤️

    In Kerala, most school and colleges have pad vending machine. Even men buying pads to his friends or family. It is nothing to be a shame. It is protecting our ladies from their toughest time.

    "the strongest creation created by God not the tiger not the lion, the girl" love that
  • I love sneha.... Just a normal women... With ambitions....staying strong...I will pray that she makes it to police force....and create a huge difference for girls in her village...
  • @aastha4532
    It breaks my heart that my mom yelled at me for being shameless when i loudly said i dont feel good because of periods in front of my family.... She always thinks period is something you should not talk about men as if they dont know it.... I wish parents would be a bit more forward and talk about this openly with their kids In most parts of India
  • Neither we need a patriarchal society nor matriarchal society , we need a society where men and women can understand eachother's problem and encourage each other and there is no ground of inequality in between them .
  • @KarlRock
    Wow, I'm so happy they put this up on YouTube. It shows what's possible with a little innovation. These women rock and will inspire many 🙏🏻 They've inspired me to cover the work my sisters do in my wife's villages in Haryana and Rajasthan. I'm gonna share this with my sisters in our villages now 😊 Jai Hind 🇮🇳
  • @Easha999
    They should “sell” them in schools so that the girls will feel more comfortable buying it in private if that’s what it takes
  • That lady talking about ills of patriarchy and feminism in rural India, fills my heart with pride!
  • @Marissa-hr3wc
    “Now her fathers known by his daughters name”... incredible
  • @y.8788
    All my wishes with sneha, I really hope she makes it into the police force like she wants to. And love and pride for all these women for standing up for other women. May we never stop progressing, may we always keep moving forward like this.

    It’s good that this is on YouTube. Not everyone can get Netflix. But most do have access to YouTube but smartphones. Even a farmer in rural India can watch information on the smartphones.
  • Watching this short docu makes me feel really sad. To be raised in a society where having a period (a natural experience that all girls go through from as early as 10), is seen as SHAME, a DISEASE, a SICKNESS, a TABOO, is beyond frustrating and soooo sad. I love this project and the goal that man has to change the thoughts and opinions of all Punjabs/Indians in India. Much love from Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹
