NTU making menstruation education compulsory for everyone isn’t “extra” - it’s overdue.

Too many women are still figuring out painful symptoms, hormonal changes, and long-term health effects on their own often thinking it’s just something we have to tolerate. It’s not. We deserve to understand our bodies properly, not through guesswork or silence.

And for men - this isn’t something to laugh off or reduce to jokes. Menstruation affects education, work, mental health, and overall wellbeing. Understanding it isn’t optional if you care about the people around you.

I'd like to poropose a mandatory, peer to peer workshop will be good and not a long one or one that's very formal it should be like a safe space where everyone will listen.

Real education breaks stigma. It builds empathy. It protects health.

This shouldn’t be progressive - it should be standard.
