A subject that isn't only for the girls

Article Abstract:

Cambridge University research shows that schools do not provide adequate facilities for schoolgirls who menstruate. Teachers are unhelpful and male fellow-pupils harass and tease girls. Some girls do not know anything about menstruation and personal, social and sex education (PSE) lessons provide little information. Half of those surveyed miss school completely for two days a month. Sixty percent take painkillers.
