In the fifth episode of my podcast, I talk with activist Jaya Amin (she/her) of Child Rights and You (CRY) India about their recent “Let’s Talk About Periods” campaign. Jaya shares in detail the role CRY plays in actively impacting the culture around periods for children across India. CRY has helped create a movement that encourages young menstruators to talk about their periods openly and to educate thousands of children in India about the truths vs. the myths about menstruation. They provide educational resources, period products, seminars, events, and more all in the name of period-positivity and normalcy. It is their mission to end period shame in India, and they have already made so much progress towards that goal.

I loved having Jaya on for a second episode to talk in depth about the amazing organization she works for. I am pleased to share that this is the second episode of a two-part series I did in collaboration withChild Rights and You. If you didn’t get a chance to listen to my first episode with Jaya, listen to Episode 4 of Talk About Your Period. now!

Child Rights and You (CRY) is an Indian non-profit organization that works to ensure healthier, happier, and more fulfilled childhoods for all children. They fight for India’s children’s rights to education, health & nutrition, and protection. Currently, CRY is promoting their #LetsTalkAboutPeriods campaign, an effort to end period shame and stigma in India. They have been sharing educational information about periods, providing access to period products, and opening up conversations about periods to help reduce the stigma of menstruation. Through these efforts, they have been helping to create a safe environment for young menstruators to speak openly about their periods all across India.
