There are a number of different practices, conceptions and misconceptions that have been reported in studies conducted in various countries. In Pakistan, there is a dearth of knowledge related to hygienic and unhygienic practices, discomforts, misconceptions related to nutrition, and restrictions imposed during menstruation. Therefore, this study was conducted with the objectives to identify the conceptions and misconceptions about menstruation, explore hygienic and unhygienic practices during menstruation along with the socio- cultural and religious restrictions imposed, and the discomforts with its management among adolescents who do not attend schools between the ages of 13-19 years, residing in the squatter settlements of urban Karachi.

Para el Banco de la República de Colombia es motivo de gran complacencia haber participado desde entonces en ese proceso gracias a la decisión tomada por las directivas del banco de la época de iniciar una colección de orfebrería prehispánica, que años más tarde se convirtió en el Museo del Oro. La colección, que cuenta hoy con 33.800 registros de orfebrería y 20.000 de cerámica, piedra, hueso, concha y madera y se exhiben en siete museos en Colombia y en frecuentes exposiciones nacionales e internacionales, es una institución fundamental de nuestra cultura.

  • Dig Until You Find Blood
    Dig Until You Find Blood: A Textual and Archaeological Investigation into Egyptian Menstrual Seclusion Practice at Deir el-Medina by Anne M. Sherfield A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of Classical Studies University of Michigan Spring 2018 © 2018 Anne M. Sherfield Acknowledgements First and foremost, I am grateful for the unwavering support and guidance of my thesis advisor Terry G. Wilfong. I cannot repay his commitment to me throughout this project irrespective to his busy schedule and multitude of responsibilities. His enthusiastic support of my investigation into menstrual seclusion practices and his expansive knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture has made my thesis immeasurably better. Additionally, I have deeply appreciated his openness to new ideas and perspectives as well as the ease with which he approaches ambiguity and criticism of his work. I hope that I can show the same receptiveness throughout the course of my career. I would also be nowhere without the support of Lisa Young. She has been a mentor for me throughout my time at Michigan and it is thanks to her that I have been able to do so many amazing things during my time as an undergraduate. Further, I was unaware of my love for research until I took Lisa’s undergraduate seminar class in fall of 2016. It was in this class that I realized how creative, freeing, and difficult original research can be. My experience in this class not only introduced me to menstrual seclusion practices, but it also made me to want to write a thesis in the first place.

  • Menstruation, Stigma, and Reproductive Health Education in the State of North Carolina
    Menstruation, Stigma, and Reproductive Health Education in the State of North Carolina: Exploring the Effects of Period Stigma on Female Adolescents Rosie Tran The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill MENSTRUATION, STIGMA, AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH EDUCATION IN NORTH CAROLINA Introduction The act of menstruation is a natural, bodily function that a majority of those with uteri experience. Historically, it has been regarded as the onset of womanhood, puberty, and female sexuality. Medically, it is the shedding of the uterus lining indicating that a person is not pregnant (Davis, 2019). Yet, despite the biological basis for menstruation, many women, young girls, and other people across the world experience stigma during this process. In certain countries, those undergoing their menses are subjected to extreme stigma and are placed in a “menstruation hut” until their cycle has finished (RCHCO Field Bulletin: Chaupadi In The Far- West). In these same countries and others, religions and cultures find the act dirty and/or unclean. This can cause feelings of shame when women have their periods. The negative stigmas and the feelings of shame attached to menstruation cycles can have very serious consequences -- and may affect the type of help that women seek in regards to their reproductive health. Although stigma toward menstruation in the United States is not as severe as to force women into menstruation huts, the act of menstruation is still heavily shamed. From speaking with my friends and peers anecdotally, these notions of embarrassment, shame, stigma, etc., are already understood by menarche, otherwise known as the initial menstrual cycle that a person experiences.

The 13 sites were purposely selected to provide a broad sampling from three standpoints:(1) major-livelihood and form of economic activity (farming, fishing, urban poor, disaster areas); (2) ethnolinguistic grouping (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao); and (3) lifestyle or rhythm of life in the community (traditional, transitional, Moslem Filipino minority, lowland Christian majority, urban poor, developmental). The sample functional literacy rate in the study's communities ranged from 34.4% to 79.8%. Special attention was paid to the following topics: community life as a context of literacy practice; community knowledge and the passage to a literate tradition; different practices, meanings, and definitions of functional literacy in different contents; constraints in the relationship between literacy and development; and possibilities for literacy in conceptualizing a school of the people.

  • Revelation and Divination in Ndembu Ritual ANTHROPOLOGY
    $4.95 Revelation and Divination in Ndembu Ritual ANTHROPOLOGY Revelation and Divination In Ndembu Ritual VICTOR TURNER Drawing on two and a half years of field work, Victor Turner offers two thorough ethnographic studies of Ndembu revelatory ritual and f divinatory techniques, with running commentaries on symbolism by a variety of Ndembu informants. Although previously published, these essays have not been readily available since their appearance more than a dozen years ago. Striking a personal note in a new introductory chapter, Professor Turner acknowledges his indebted- ness to Ndembu ritualists for alerting him to the theoretical rele- vance of symbolic action in understanding human societies. He believes that ritual symbols, like botanists' stains, enable us to detect and trace the movement of social processes and relationships that often lie below the level of direct observation. The Series SYMBOL, MYTH, AND RITUAL General Editor: VICTOR TURNER This series provides a forum for current research on myth, ritual, and symbolism in anthropology and other related fields. The primary purpose is to introduce broadly comparative and theoretically signif- icant anthropological studies on the role of symbols. Also included, however, are works in other scientific or humanistic disciplines that are seriously and creatively concerned with comparative symbology. The series maintains a balance between descriptive and analytic studies; the authors are both younger scholars and established fig- ures of international reputation. CORNELL PAPERBACKS Cornel!
