ALT “Dealing with a period is the worst thing about being a blind woman” “For most people, a period is a private time but it’s not private when you’re blind. I cannot tell when I come on, I have to have a friend check for me, I cannot tell if I leave behind a mess, I cannot tell if my clothes have stains on them, if I leave behind a mark when I get out of a taxi or a car. Do you know how humiliating that thought is? And the fact that I can’t check on my own. It’s awful. This subject is so important, this is health, this is dignity. Dignity is everything to you when you’ve lost your sight and we need to start discussing issues like this to start making a difference. What’s worse, making someone uncomfortable by talking about menstruation or millions of disabled people feeling humiliated and isolated due to a natural bodily function? That’s the question I want asked this Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024.” - Tracy
