iThe End of Sentence of the film. is a powerful and inspirational documentary that sheds light on the challenges that women face in obtaining an education and being understood. The lack of understanding surrounding menstruation, coupled with myths and shaming, creates an unfair and difficult existence for millions of women. This is especially true in countries where obtaining basic necessities is already a struggle. The documentary highlights the pervasive lack of education surrounding menstruation and the patriarchal structures that control women’s lives, leaving little room for escape from oppression. The film is a poignant reminder that the lack of access to sanitary pads can prevent women from attending school, limiting their opportunities and perpetuating inequality. It is frustrating to see how a small change can make such a significant impact, especially when the men in these communities could provide more support. The contrast between progress and societal ignorance is stark and disturbing.
The connection I observe between the film and reading lies in the struggle, mistrust, and rejection faced by individuals due to their authenticity, life experience, and circumstance while striving to discover a sense of belonging. The Indian community depicts a perception of unfairness concerning the treatment one receives and the disparities and injustice in the health system, based on personal differences and race. It is unacceptable that transgender individuals receive insufficient care; no one should face neglect regardless of their identity. I now acknowledge the effectiveness of identity politics as a tool for marginalized individuals to combat inequality and injustice. It is not necessary to experience prejudice or hatred personally to speak out against it.
People attempt to strip others of their identity, which is both immoral and violent. It is difficult to accept being shamed for lack of medical treatment, especially when one pays taxes and works hard. This is brutal discrimination. Medical professionals take the Hippocratic Oath, swearing to aid others. The scientific and biological perspective suggests that it is unnatural not to discuss menstruation, how women feel, how to assist them, and how to reform the system to improve their lives. However, men often emphasize the importance of sex and pornography due to its perceived naturalness and its endorsement by the state.
