12 Year-old Girl Kills Herself Over Menstruation Shame by splendidng: 3:04pm On Aug 31, 2017
A 12-year-old school-girl from southern India has killed herself after a teacher purportedly humiliated her over a blood stain from menstruation.






In a suicide note, she lay blame on the teacher of "Torturing" her.

Although the girl did not mention period shaming in her letter, the mother says her daughter was asked to leave the class because of the stain.

"I do not know why my teacher is making complaints against me. I still can't understand why they are harassing and torturing me like this," the student said in her suicide note.

Her mother indicted the teacher of having beaten her daughter in the past for not doing her homework.

''My daughter got her periods while she was in school last Saturday," her mother told BBC.

When she informed the teacher, she was given a duster cloth to use as a pad. "The teacher made my daughter stand outside the class. How can a 12-year-old withstand such humiliation?" she asked.

Wat kinda nonsense is this. Menstruation is a natural thing which everyone is well aware of... The teacher should be severely dealt with. That's a case of stigmatization
