I thought i might bleed to death. For a lot of young women the 1st menstruation is a frightening experience and in many societies prejudice and alienation make matters worse in some countries around home. When theyre having their period and expensive sanitary products and poor hygiene conditions mean its common for women not to work when menstruating either which has a Financial Impact on. Sometimes menstruation even threatens livelihoods and women turn to drastic measures to stop it. Quran is a sugarcane harvester shes only 34 but already shes physically barely able to perform the work 8 years ago she had a hysterectomy to stop or periods she couldnt afford to miss a day or 2 of work whenever she was menstruating but the surgery left her with Serious Health problems. That im in constant pain i have to take medication every day my whole body hurts my back my head my legs everything hurts. Fieldworkers in india earn very little and none as little as the king carters in harvest season they work every day for 6 months running and make the equivalent of just 700. 00 euros in total they have to work hard because the land owners bank on 3 harvests per field perceives them. If women stay home when theyre menstruating the contractors who hired them make them pay a penalty. 3 of these cane cutters have had hysterectomies to make sure that they could work as much as possible. But i like when i still got my period thered be 4 days a month when i couldnt work 10 year as would be taken off my wage every day in the long term that was more than i could afford right no. Ship in quran lives in a village in rural central india where few women are educated over 10 percent of the women here have had their uterus removed in neighboring villages the figure is closer to 50 percent hygiene is bad a doctor advised her to have the hysterectomy to reduce the risk of infection but he didnt mention the potential side effects which range from hormonal fluctuations to osteoporosis. He told me i would suffer less i had my uterus removed because i thought it would make everything better but in the last 7 or 8 years ive been in constant pain. Never went to school she was married at 14 and had her 1st child at 16 but. Ashok is her 2nd son he began working when he was 13 and hes 16 now. Osho went into debt to pay for her surgery basically the doctor who performed the operation and her boss have both benefited from her decision but its brought her nothing but suffering with them and the operation cost 700 euros i didnt have that kind of money my boss gave me an advance to pay for it and i had to pay it off he made me pay interest. 3 percent a month i was paying it off for 3 years they dont that leap. A few kilometers away in the nearest town were meeting the head of the came cutter contractors he also runs a small office for financial services. He tells us that he has around 300000 cane cutters under contract across the state he also says he advises women not to undergo the surgery. But that some contractors may have a different view. Its possible that some of them force the women into it i cant comment on that but even so im sure its only a few. Commented that i did that. The sugar industry is a bedrock of the maharashtra economy employing nearly 25000000. 00 people producers pay some 250000000. 00 euros in tax every year thats why the authorities have little interest in looking into the high rate of hysterectomies among sugarcane cutters and Investigative Committee was set up but was soon disbanded. In. Their complaint in front of me. So. That statement angers womens rights activist money should talk lee who is part of the Investigative Committee last year the Public Health department revealed that 84000. 00 hysterectomy s. Were performed in one district alone but the report was simply filed away. But i got it when get passes out in music local authorities have the information they were taken aback by the shocked response and now they want to cover it up. If suddenly the number fell to 13000 cases and now supposedly its just 1300 there that has that it would be out quite a bit as a woody. Quran doesnt expect the state to do anything about her plight she hopes that when her son marries hell tell his wife not to have a hysterectomy and she says that if she knew then what she knows now shed never of had the operation.

Really this that when women thing men well when theyre valid they can have a strong the worst in the world and i think the world needs to hear many different types of voices. I grew up travelling on motorcycles around the world with my parents and my older brother since i was an ensign so ive seen a lot of the world and seen many womens lives in many different settings so since really deeply in the sense that until women have control over their own bodies and their own childbearing can seem really difficult to start having the good developmental cycle so when this when the world. One thing that we are proud to do with and use when they use us data is to do scientific work so with carefully selected Research Institutions we do science work and from our hearts with the aim to advance the knowledge around through our house so that we can get this knowledge also back to the people who tracked the data. Because you know self is of course not gender you know a car is a car a space rocket is a space rocket but some take is really just saying there is a group of technologies that addressing needs that women have specifically because we have a specific body that is different to that of male.
