Did you know that 28 stands for the average length of a menstrual cycle, whereas 5 marks the average number of days of menstruation, hence the day is May 28. It is observed across globe to mark the importance of menstrual hygiene, break the stigma around periods, raise awareness and change the negative mindsets, which prevent girls and women from having a safe period.
Bollywood actresses Neha Dhupia and Mandira Bedi took to Instagram to share awareness videos on the day. In order to undo the stigma and negative connotations around a period, Menstrual Hygiene Day brings about an acceptance, thus encouraging young girls and women to embrace their period hygienically.
