Focused on the personal experiences of the girl or woman affected by menstrual abnormalities. The aim of the NGO Sang Tabou is to create a platform for exchange where the affected person will feel safe to express herself on the trauma caused by these abnormalities, which not only destroy femininity, but also degrade the conditions or lifestyle of the affected person.
In addition to scientific testimonials, it’s important for the girl or woman to find herself through someone who has lived through the same experiences and fully understands the pain, worries and frustrations she’s facing. Indeed, the affected person has the impression that the organ that is supposed to enable her to give life is not cooperating. This is very frightening and leaves an ongoing trauma that needs to be expressed. The simple fact of being drenched by profusely flowing blood creates an unpleasant feeling of insecurity that causes these women to miss work, important events and appointments without any concrete explanation. Simply because menstruation is a taboo subject.
