Gender equality in the realization of the human rights to water and sanitation 2016, para. 25
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women has recommended using innovative measures targeting the media to enhance positive and non-stereotypical portrayals of women. Several attempts have been made to "break the silence" on menstruation through the use of various forms of social media. A recent Newsweek story highlighted the everyday struggle that women experience because of their menstrual cycle by showing a photograph of a tampon on the cover. A letter to the chief executive officer of Facebook from a student in New Delhi asking him to introduce a "on my period" button on the world's largest social network has received significant online attention. Awareness-raising campaigns to inform and change the mindsets and attitudes of both men and women should be designed using all available means, including the media, at the community level and in schools, with the participation of civil society.
