<p>I was always taught that periods destroys the purity of soul until I was child... When I brought up and begin to understand things.. I found it absolutely wrong... They use to treat girls as untouchables in those days... Girls were excluded from every activity, they're precluded to visit in front of the men... I also faced this for a while.. But now education strengthen me.. I  am the who oppose this and educating them about all this </p>
