I did not understand why I bled.

Tsu’s First Period

I was already self-conscious and shy so on that fateful day when I came home puzzled and confused as to what was happening I found yet another thing to be self-conscious about.

Tsu’s First Period

My first period

It's hard to have a period when you’re poor

I started my period when I was 11. It's very hard to have a period when you are poor. We use old cloths for periods and it's very dirty. We cannot afford pads. Sometimes I cannot go to school because I have nothing to help with my periods. some girls in our area even sleep with old men so that they can get some pads. It is very bad. I wish for more education on these subjects and for us to be free to talk about the periods.
