'More than 300 people attended and signed a pledge to reject the myth that women are impure and unholy during menstruation.'
On February 27, New Delhi, India hosted another Period Fest with the goal to remove the stigma of menstruation. More than 300 people attended and signed a pledge to reject the myth that women are impure and unholy during menstruation and to support women against these lies. This year was different, however, as activists were mocking the male priest who claimed that menstruating women who cook for their husbands would be reborn as dogs and more absurd statements.
ADVERTISEMENT Dasji was also a Trustee at a college in Bhuj where they forced 68 students to strip and remove their underwear to prove that they were not having their period. His statements and the period-shaming conducted at the college sparked outrage. Since it was so close to the Period Fest, they decided to focus on women cooking while menstruating. They served food cooked solely by 28 menstruating women.
Kamla Bhasin, a feminist and poet, was also present and said, “I condemn the actions and thoughts of people who curse and stigmatize the same blood that gave them life! This Period Feast is a bold and appropriate retort for the misogynistic comments of swamis.”
