In Malaysia, schoolgirls have to go through “period spot checks” to physically prove that they are on their periods to their teachers or seniors. The methods include showing their blood-soaked sanitary pads, doing swabs of their va**na with either cotton buds, tissues, or their fingers, or having a teacher, warden or school prefect pat them down at the groin to feel if they are wearing a sanitary pad.
Why is this done? In Islam, women or girls who are menstruating do not perform ritual prayers. Hence, some girls who do not join congregational prayers, which are commonly held in residential or religious-based schools, have to go through period spot checks before they are allowed to leave.
The purpose of this short story is to bring awareness to this issue. Period spot checks are degrading acts of sexual harassment, but in Malaysia, they are considered 'normal practices' and there are no consequences for perpetrators.
What can we do to stop period spot checks?
1. Write to your ministers to urge them to take strict action against period spot checks
2. Teach young girls about inappropriate touching - and to voice up when they are harassed
3. Provide emotional support for survivors of period spot checks
