Veteran actor-activist Shabana Azmi today said there is still a long way to go in achieving higher standards of menstrual awareness. The 67-year-old actor said men also need to be included in initiating more dialogue about periods. "The glass is half full and half empty... It is not possible that we take this initiative forward unless we involve men," Azmi said. The actor was addressing a panel titled 'Loss Fertility in Females' at Niine Movement's "Menstrual Awareness Conclave" to mark International Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28. Talking about the difficulties of women residing in rural areas, the actor said she was "shocked" to see how they used unhygienic "recycled" cloth during periods.
