Periods

These women approach their monthly periods with little to no sanitary resources and another horror they face is not even knowing when it'll come in order for them to be prepared for it. The reason is that since they don't have enough money to keep a regular healthy diet, they don't get the nutrients they need and this causes them to have irregular periods or not have them at all. These women do not eagerly look forward to menstruating each month, especially with its painful side effects like cramps and migraines. Unfortunately, there aren't many places for women to wash and clean themselves up and this is an issue. The problem is that periods are still so taboo, which means not many people are talking about it, and women don't have many options to turn to. It's survival of the fittest: a woman can't pee behind a tree like a man can, a woman gets her period and it's hard for her to wash up. If she is a heavier woman, she can develop skin infections and will not have the right medications to treat them.
