Central Australian Youth Link Up Service provides a tailor-made menstrual hygiene<\/strong> guide<\/strong> to help young women<\/strong><\/strong> navigate their menstrual cycle<\/strong> One academic says more education<\/strong> is needed to reduce the taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> of menstruation in outback<\/strong> Australia<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wendy <\/span>Anders, an Arrente woman from Central Australia<\/a>, said talking about menstruation was a taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> topic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“The more we can talk about it, and have that taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> softened or reduced or even removed, the more we can actually address it and and resolve the barriers<\/strong> that exist for many girls<\/strong> and women<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Brisbane Lion’s player<\/strong> Lauren Arnell said the usually taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> topic<\/strong> is anything<\/strong> but at the club<\/strong>, even with male<\/strong> coaches<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t till I started talking to other people<\/strong> that I really understood exactly how many others had been through exactly the same things, yet there was still such a taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> subject around it,” she said.<\/p>\n

Anne-Marie Imrie: \u2018 has been so hidden, so taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>, that when it does happen to people, they\u2019re extremely shocked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Imrie says removing the fatalism and taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> around stillbirth is important both for pregnant women<\/strong>, and for families who have suffered loss.

Special access to Oz for Pacific workers became a taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> topic<\/strong> in Canberra<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When the Pacific Islands Forum<\/a> was being created in the early 1970s, Australia<\/a> feared that the new regional body would be used to attack our migration policies, and worked hard to impose the taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Score this a major achievement of island leaders, working through the forum, to change Australian thinking and dismantle the taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s so baffling, though, is that according to new research by Always Discreet, 64 per cent of us still consider the topic<\/strong> to be taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You see, this is a problem, because any topic<\/strong> that\u2019s effectively deemed “taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>” comes with a feeling<\/strong> of secrecy or prohibition, which means \u2013 if you\u2019re lucky \u2013 the matter is only discussed in whispers.<\/p>\n

OM: It\u2019s out of sight \u2013 a taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This series resonated with so many precisely because it focused on the doubt that forms in many people\u2019s minds around difficult, taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> themes.<\/p>\n

Worst of all it has become normalised, while shrouded in taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To tackle a subject matter that is mostly taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> in communities because it\u2019s too painful or shame for many is a great thing.”<\/p>\n

‘It’s a weird situation and it’s never really felt normal, because it isn’t normal, it’s really taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>,’she said. ‘But if it’s mutual and everyone’s got respect and everything’s on the table, you feel much more comfortable. ‘<\/p>\n

But EOS, which makes weapons systems that can be remotely operated from inside the protection of an armoured car, has broken the lethality taboo<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
