Menstruation, a natural and essential bodily function, has long been shrouded in a veil of shame and secrecy. The silence surrounding periods has resulted in a plethora of misconceptions, taboos, and discriminatory practices that have marginalized individuals who menstruate.
In her groundbreaking book Challenging The Law of Silence on Periods, author Sarah Thomas confronts the societal stigma associated with menstruation and provides a comprehensive guide to breaking the cycle of silence.
Unveiling the Hidden History of Period Stigma
The book begins by tracing the historical roots of period stigma, revealing how cultural, religious, and medical beliefs have shaped the negative perceptions surrounding menstruation. Thomas exposes the systemic discrimination and oppression faced by individuals who menstruate, from ancient taboos to modern-day exclusion and discrimination.
Through meticulous research and personal anecdotes, Thomas illustrates how the law of silence on periods has impacted individuals' health, education, and social opportunities. She argues that the stigma surrounding menstruation is a form of gender-based violence that perpetuates inequality and undermines the well-being of individuals who menstruate.
Empowering Individuals to Break the Stigma
Challenging The Law of Silence on Periods is not merely an exposé of the problem; it is a call to action. Thomas provides practical steps that individuals can take to break the stigma and create a more inclusive society.

- Normalize period talk: Openly discuss menstruation in all settings, from schools to workplaces, to break down barriers and create a more inclusive environment.
Advocating for Change at the Societal Level
Beyond individual actions, Thomas emphasizes the need for systemic change. She calls on policymakers, educators, and healthcare professionals to play a vital role in addressing period stigma.
The book provides concrete recommendations for policy changes that would create a more equitable society for individuals who menstruate, such as:
- Providing free and accessible menstrual products in public spaces and schools
- Including menstrual health education in school curricula
- Enacting paid menstrual leave policies
- Investing in research on menstrual health and well-being
