Impure / First Period - stigma and empowerment

First Period - stigma and empowerment: ‘Impure’

Book you ticket here.

June, a twelve-year-old Kenyan girl, is bluntly confronted with the realities of exclusion, shame, and stigma around menstruation when she experiences her first menstruation while attending school. Drawing on real-life events, ‘Impure’ highlights the social and cultural stigmas and taboos around menstruation, and it emphasizes the need for engagement in discussion around ‘period shaming’, menstrual health, and women’s health. A touching story that will make viewers reflect upon and engage in conversation surrounding menstrual equity and dignity.
