“I want to be like my mother”, “I don’t want to be like my mother”. It doesn’t matter which approach to motherhood you choose, it’s important that it’s yours.

Menstruation is still a taboo. 40% of women make sure that nobody sees them going to the toilet with a sanitary napkin or tampon. Every third one of us makes sure that nobody knows we are on our period, and 14% of women are afraid that a friend will see that they are buying sanitary napkins.
Inequality starts at home. A menstruating girl can be treated as if she is burdened with her physiology, unlike her brother. Or the other way round: she is relieved from her duties because “it’s that time of the month”.
You have to go a long way from being somebody’s child to being somebody’s parent.
