REFLECTION 11

A very normal and natural thing about women is considered taboo in other countries. I am very upset knowing that Indian girls had to face all kinds of environmental problems by having their period every month. The movie “Period: End of Sentence” opened an image of how there are families who can’t even afford pads which shows how the country is being poorly treated. Women need not only financial support but education also. The movie shows how women do their best to be financially independent by affording pads and helping other families too.

Obstetric racism is a form of violence that women of color and transgender people are dealing with in hospitals and clinics. The story of LeConte which is written by Dr.Dana-Ain Davis is a very emotional story that describes how racist doctors and nurses can be in the most sensitive situation in life: Giving birth. She didn’t have to go through all this pain by herself just because she is black. No women deserve to be treated less than the other one. Transgender people are also part of this type of racism where they face discrimination and rude service. They are also human beings and deserve to have access to all health sources.
