In speaking up against “period spot checks” and other forms of sexual harassment and abuses, comments have emerged that this is not newsworthy, or that politicians are politicising this issue. In speaking up for the voiceless, society is educating and empowering children of their rights and dignity, and preventing them from growing up into misguidedly believing that sexual harassment is acceptable. Political parties across the aisle have spoken against the abhorrent practice of menstruation checks. To be fair to Mara, I have been told that it does not have a policy on menstruation spot checks. With universal condemnation of the period spot checks issue, it is incumbent for the authorities to stop it permanently, pronto!
