Girls in multiple schools have come forward to share their stories of being “shamed, groped and violated” in period spot checks, with many saying they had to physically prove they were on their period through extreme measures like showing their sanitary pads.

Student activist Nurul Rifayah Muhammad Iqbal explains how students can be empowered by knowing their rights while model and influencer Nalisa Alia Amin talks about how digital spaces can provide a platform for survivors.
