Book excerpt: We are told not to discuss it in public, that tampons and sanitary pads should be hidden away, the blood rendered invisible. In many parts of the world, poverty, culture and religion collide causing the taboo around menstruation to have grave consequences. Younger people who menstruate are deterred from going to school, adults from work, infections are left untreated. The shame is universal and the silence a global rule. In It's only Blood Anna Dahlqvist tells the shocking and moving stories from some of theses 2,000,000,000 people. Meeting and interviewing individuals across the world - from Bangladesh to Sweden, Uganda to the United States - she also reveals the inspirational courage of those who are fighting back against this stigma.
