MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S
HEALTH
Photo of Fon
girl and her mother in Benin, West Africa
Among people who use menstrual
huts or, like the girl
below, wear very little,
menstruation is known to people in
her community, not concealed as it
in much of the world.
The
photo comes from "Menstruation
und Monatshygiene: Zum Umgang
mit einem körperlichen
Vorgang" by Sabine
Zinn-Thomas, 1997

A mother from the Fon group teaches her
daughter menstrual hygiene and
menstrual customs in
Benin, West Africa. (Zinn-Thomas,
cited above, reprinted this from
Judith Schlehe's book "Das Blut
der fremden Frauen. Menstruation
in der anderen und der eigenen
Kultur," 1987).
