Kenyan Politician Goes To Parliament With A Giant Period Blood Stain On Her Pants, Her Colleagues Make Her GTFO

Gloria Orwoba was on her way to work and before she entered Parliament she noticed she had stained herself. She has been campaigning to end shame around periods and thought now was the time to put her words into action.

When she walked into the Parliament, her white trousers had blood stains. This did not go down well with her colleagues who thought Orwoba was being disrespectful. Soon, she was asked to leave the floor.

The senator is now being criticised by other MPs, including women senators.

Senator Tabitha Mutinda thought that Orwoba was disrespectful and inappropriate. She asked the speaker during a plenary session if Orwoba had followed the dress code. “You don’t understand if she’s on the normal woman cycle or she’s faking it, and it is so indecent,” said Mutinda, according to a report in the BBC. The opposing MP said that this was not setting a good example for girls and young women in Kenya.

Orwoba said that it was “an accident that is natural”. “I have stained my clothes and at the end of the day I just want to know while we are discussing this issue that is not in the order paper, is it because senators are not women who have periods,” she asked.
