Millie Bobby Brown is one of those active voices in society who never shies away from speaking the truth. That’s why she became a part of UNICEF to advocate for the ones who remain unheard. The young actress herself has been bullied and shunned by people for making choices that don’t go with conventions. So the Stranger Things star understands what it feels like to live in a world where a young woman is not considered equal. Bringing some major issues that become an obstacle to the growth of women, she urged people to come forward and end this stigma.

In her capacity as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Brown, 19, spoke about the issue of period poverty on social media. In the video, the teen superstar talked about how monthly menstrual impact the lives of young women around the globe. She stated that individuals have very different experiences during this time of the month. There are many women who don’t even have basic services like sanitary products and clean water.

The Enola Holmes star revealed many people use things like “newspaper, rages, or nothing at all.” This lack of hygiene can have a dangerous impact on their health and education. So this is why Millie Bobby Brown and UNICEF lent a hand to spread awareness about mensuration, which has always been considered a stigma.

According to the actress, schools should educate all the kids about it so they can free their minds from gender norms. Meanwhile, she also urged the world’s leaders to increase investments in menstrual health so every girl and woman can get safe products and facilities.

Millie Bobby Brown is making ignored social stigma visible to the world 

For people who don’t know, this is not the first time Millie Bobby Brown has addressed an issue that people don’t talk about openly. The British star opened up about bullying in a UN speech in 2019. The actress said that she herself has been bullied at school and knows what impact it leaves on one’s mind. This is why she doesn’t want any other girl to face the same trauma and they have the support.

“My message to her is this: you are not alone. There are people who care about you. There are people who will listen if you reach out for help. You have rights,” assured Brown.
