But they're understanding that it can be a sucky thing to go through.  It’s so important to open up this discussion to all genders because everyone should be educated on menstruation, not just people who experience it. 
To eradicate misconceptions and help them better understand everything about it, some men have expressed that they grew up learning that women are dangerous to be around while they’re on their period because of their mood swings. So they ten to avoid them in these times. 
While some are afraid to talk about it to avoid saying the wrong things, being embarrassed by a lack of knowledge, and the cultural shame surrounding periods.

My Period Chronicles; Period or not work begins at 8 am

Women experience periods differently, some actually require some time off to get back to themselves. Let's discuss how and why period leave should be a thing. Not something that connotes women as weak or needing preferential treatment but rather taking into account our health.

We are not talking about this enough.

But since there’s still such a stigma surrounding women’s issues — menstruation and painful periods chief among them — women feel as though they simply have to go about their day as if everything’s fine, which is just not okay.

THE OBASI BOYS

One of the most taunting events that have plagued Nigeria in the past years is the issue of police brutality. 

Every day, we are faced with one case of murder or another and the government has refused to speak up on this issue nor take any meaningful step. Many of our young ones have fallen prey to the police and just a handful have lived to narrate their encounter.
In this episode, I'll be sharing the story of Mrs Ukamaka Obasi, who was unfortunate to have an indirect, yet direct encounter with the brutal police force and SARS. This is because she has felt the impact of police brutality, losing all three of her children in the process.
Mrs Obasi distraughtly and painfully recounts her experiences and the events that led to the deaths of her three children, leaving her childless and nearly husbandless.

THIS THING CALL GENDER AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE SHA

The international community has become aware of the need to achieve equality between the sexes and of the fact that an equitable society cannot be attained if the fundamental human rights of half of human society, i.e. women, continue to be denied and violated.
However, the bleak reality is that harmful traditional practices have been performed for male benefit. Female sexual control by men, and the economic and political subordination of women, perpetuate the inferior status of women and inhibit structural and attitudinal changes necessary to eliminate gender inequality.
Despite the apparent slowness of action to challenge and eliminate harmful traditional practices, the activities of human rights bodies in this field have, in recent years, resulting in noticeable progress.
Join communities all over the world and raise awareness on practices such as
FGM, Early marriage, Female infanticide, nutritional taboos, breast ironing etc.
Tell your own story,
Join global campaigns
Participate in interventions
Volunteer your skills
Do all you can to put an end to barbaric acts society has termed normal.

Communication in today's world

In our daily dealings, technological advancement has made life both easy and complicated.
As a communicator it is important you note certain conventional techniques digital innovation may not be able to influence.
We all have a tendency to speak too quickly, pitching our voices too high or low especially under pressure or undue stress.
Communication is not merely the message but also the personality of the messenger infused in the message.
It is not simply what we say but how we say it.
