Let us have a quick glance at some impactful Nusrat Jahan quotes.
On period leaves
- "The announcement of period leaves for women is a commendable move and I believe more organisations must follow suit. For a long time, menstruation and anything associated with it have been subjected to a lot of taboo. There was a lack of awareness around the problems faced by women during periods – one of them being period pain or dysmenorrhea. Considering how this can be a difficult time for women, especially the first two days, this move will greatly benefit them and set an example for others to follow."
On menstrual hygiene
- "Even as certain startups work towards helping raise awareness around menstruation and menstrual hygiene, the need of the hour is for stakeholders including the government to collaborate for conducting awareness programmes, especially in the rural areas. It is only through these awareness generation initiatives across all socio-economic sectors that a positive conversation can be generated around menstruation." You can read the full interview here.
On Trolling
- When the politician was trolled for wearing a saree at work despite being a Muslim, she slammed the shamers through her tweet. She said, "Paying heed or reacting to comments made by hardliners of any religion only breeds hatred and violence, and history bears testimony to that.. #NJforInclusiveIndia #Youthquake #secularIndia". Jahan added, "I represent an inclusive India which is beyond the barriers of caste, creed and religion."
On Feminism
- "I genuinely feel that feminism is all about pulling up women who are down-trodden. Women are targeted, yes we are, but the more we start to think of ourselves as victims and focus on the trolling on our gender, it will never stop."
On Making Choices
- "They (women) should get a hold of themselves. Start living their lives their way and stop listening to what other people have to say about them. We have seen the world pulling us down because of our gender, but if we start accepting it and doing the same to ourselves, that’s wrong. Everyone has their own lives to lead and should have the freedom to live it however they want to." Read the full interview here.
On Love Jihad
- “Love is very personal. Love and jihad don’t go hand-in-hand. Just before polls, people come up with topics like this. It is a personal choice who you want to be with. Be in love and start falling in love with each other. Don’t make religion a political tool,"
