English: Menstruation shouldn’t be stigmatized. It is as normal and natural as breathing. The stigma surrounding menstruation prevents many of the menstruators from getting their basic human rights to education, work, health, sanitation, and many more. Their needs and concerns need to be taken seriously. We also need to start talking about menstruation candidly in conversation, without shame, not only to fellow menstruators, but also the general public.
Indonesian: Menstruasi tidak seharusnya distigmatisasi. Hal tersebut adalah sesuatu yang senormal dan sealamiah bernafas. Stigma seputar menstruasi mencegah banyak dari para menstruators mendapatkan hak dasar atas pendidikan, pekerjaan, kesehatan, sanitasi, dan masih banyak lagi. Kebutuhan dan kekhawatiran mereka perlu ditanggapi dengan serius. Kita harus mulai membicarakan menstruasi secara terang-terangan, tanpa rasa malu, tidak hanya kepada para menstruator lain, tetapi juga masyarakat umum.
Oh, and Happy Menstrual Hygiene Day, everyone! <3
