This taboo leads to shameful experiences for so many girls andwomen. The consequences of being silent are often harmful and degrading.The story of IMPURE is centered in Kenya, but the way society deals with the issue ofmaking a natural thing like menstruation a taboo is also a challenge in many othercountries in Sub-Saharan Africa, in muslim countries and in South East Asia,just to name a few.
