The report of the Women and Equality Committee (WEC) says that women's pain, especially those related to periods or reproductive diseases, are often ignored. Listening to their pain is nothing but a waste of time and treating it is nothing but a waste of money.

लंदन को हिंदुस्तानी अक्सर तरक्की याफ्ता देश मान बैठते हैं लेकिन हाल में वहां की संसद में एक ऐसी रिपोर्ट आई, जो हमें नए सिरे से सोचने को मजबूर कर दे. वीमन एंड इक्वैलिटी कमेटी (WEC) की रपट कहती है कि महिलाओं के दर्द, खासकर पीरियड्स या रिप्रोडक्टिव बीमारियों से जुड़ी तकलीफों को अक्सर हवा-हवाई मान लिया जाता है. उनके दर्द को सुनना वक्त की, और उसका इलाज पैसों की बर्बादी से अलग नहीं.
