"Sir, do you have tampons?" I don't want this brand, do you have another brand?.. Yes, this brand is better.

These sentences are not embarrassing and you don't need to lower your voice to say them.

Remember that period is a sign of health and completely normal"

Hello, my name is Behnam and today I will tell you the story of one of the millions of Iranian women whose period has become a nightmare since childhood.

Fateme, the beauty queen of a rather traditional family with old and complicated beliefs, was born after Mahdi and Milad on a hot summer afternoon, a beautiful girl with colored eyes and long hair that surrounded her white face.

Fateme's childhood with her brother was spent happily and with their childhood games, from the toy car and playing aunt to the playing wolf in the beautiful yard of a villa with tall trees and beautiful flowers.

Fateme doesn't remember well... a question had been tickling her mind for several years... her mother, who always prayed on time and after the call to prayer, rested for a few days and the answer to her question was: God loves women very much and gives them a day of rest so they don't pray.

It was strange and unbelievable for him, how can God comfort mom and not dad.... That means God doesn't love dad.

Until she got older and heard different things about monthly bleeding from her friend at school and they told her everything she knew and it turned into a horror story.

Whenever one of the children got their period for the first time, they would chatter and each experience was a new lesson for them, how to hide it when it was their turn... Especially for Fatima, who has two curious brothers at home.

One time, a friend even told her that her mother slapped her ear when she first got her period because she thought it would make her daughter more beautiful.

Fateme goes to the bathroom on a snowy day and sees a lot of blood on her underwear.... It's as if all the fears she was waiting for came to her and she sits down embarrassed and starts crying.... Marjan, who is one of her close friends, came to her and told her what happened and Fatima told her crying.. He also went and bought a pack of tissues in his pocket from the school stall and brought it so that Fatemeh could use it instead of sanitary napkins to go home.

After the last school bell, they went home together and looked at every shop they could see and were too embarrassed to go shopping when they saw the salesperson.

Before reaching home, Fatima asked Marjan what to do now.

He also thought a little and said: I think you should wear a cloth, go look around the house and find a big cloth so that I can bring it to you at school tomorrow.

But a bad thing happened that night and Marjan's words did not work and Fatima's bed was covered in blood.

But there was no way to escape anymore and his mother understood and argued with him and said: "Aren't you ashamed that if your brothers find out what we were doing, now you have to stay at home to sharpen your brothers in this mess you made.">

You don't understand at all, you have to be honest, no one should know what happened.

Fateme said: Mom, I didn't want it to happen like this. I went to buy sanitary napkins, but the seller was a man, and I was embarrassed.

This day became a memory for Fatemeh and on the same day she made her own decision that if one day she was given a daughter, she would treat her differently.

Now 18 years have passed since those days and she is an educated girl and has faced important concerns in the field of women's rights in today's society.

She is a woman who menstruates like all women in the world and goes through the menstrual period with all its symptoms.

Give her the right to be nervous, mentally and physically confused, she only menstruates for seven to 10 days a month, but everything she does with stings and sarcasm, wounds and tongues, society sees her period every 30 days of the month.
