But still, there are some places, which are extremely backward and totally unknown from the level of improvement the country is achieving.

Negativity: They take it in a negative way. Still, in many rural areas, girls/women are suffering from the untouchable issue. People look at them like they are dirty and impure and nobody should touch them.

The Society: If a woman talks about her issues or anything regarding periods, nearby people laugh and make fun of her, this is all because of the wrong mentality over periods. This also let women not to talk about periods to avoid any embarrassments.
