Stigma Monatsblutung

What an uplifting and inspiring film. It shows how little (the effort needed to buy the women's machine) goes so far for them, not at all challenging the Oakland school's effort... I hold them in very high regard for having a plan to improve the lives of others around the world and achieve it through sales of bicycles, kickstarters and yogathons. How imaginative it was. Today it not only makes the group more hygienic, it helps to provide some autonomy and increased self-worth for women (in a highly patriarchal society). I highly recommend taking 26min and watching this ... Children and teenagers in particular want to show them how much influence they have to improve.

This short film is a delight! Having lived through many decades of tampon and every other form of feminine hygiene product in television and print adds, watching Indian women (and men) shyly discussing menstruation is somehow heartwarming. At its core is the serious subject of the empowerment of women that is treated with a gentle but firm hand. Go see it!

This short documentary is so enlightening and such an important, wonderful way to reveal the struggles of women in poverty and in cultures where this subject is still so taboo they can't talk about it, that I really wish this was a full-length documentary. There is so much more to the story than this well done short reveals. Very well done! I am so glad it was honored with an Oscar, I would not have known about it, were it not for the Oscar ceremony, which I always watch, and then watch the nominees and winners that I haven't heard about before the show. Thank you!

Girls, women, ladies, boys, men, gentlemen, people, please watch it. Show it to your family members. Recommend this movie to whosoever has not watched it yet. If you cannot show them the movie due to the taboo it has been in your surroundings, just tell them that this indian movie has won Oscar and ask them to watch it and share their reviews with you. This movie must be watched.

Wished it was longer to discuss more statistics. But films about menstruation poverty is always appreciated. We must shed light to this very upsetting issue. I also loved PadMan and Toilet: A Love Story. It's long overdue to start making strides to help impoverished women in our world.
