Muslim Women Talk About Their Periods

Periods can at times be a taboo subject for some Muslim women because of reasons including culture and lack of knowledge about women's health -- NOT because of Islam. However, the topic is openly discussed in many households so these experiences do not represent all Muslim women. Boldly BuzzFeedYellow has changed its name to Boldly.
