Within South Asian Cultures many stigmas target the liberation of Women. Stigmas such as Menstruation, Sex, Sexuality and Female Attire. These stigmas stem from cultural traditions and social patriarchy dating back to the 18th Century and in today's world have found themselves to be common taboos for almost all South Asian Women. Each Taboo results in a challenge every South Asian Woman will face. A challenge where they are taught the natural biological process of Menstruation is unhygienic and dirty, a challenge where the human rights of Sex and Sexuality are frowned upon unless you show submission to a Man and a challenge where a woman's clothing determines her worth and safety.

​

We find that in South Asian Cultures holding onto these Taboos is a result of the long period of silence over the stigmas of each topic. Within this project, From Your Daughters, you will find a voice that breaks the silence and begins a conversation about the origins of each Taboo, the effects of these stigmas and the truth in how empowering Women truly are. The Daughters of South Asian Cultures have been silenced for long enough and the time has come to claim back our power and to educate those on the importance of the liberation of South Asian Women through breaking each Stigma.
