BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Talking about periods

How comfortable are we talking about periods?

How comfortable are we talking about periods? Nihal is asking this after a Japanese department store, where staff could wear badges if they were on their period, said it will “rethink” that policy. After that we’ll hear from Kathan Dedhela, who is thought to be the UK’s youngest flight instructor. He wants to inspire young Asians to get into flying and is in the studio to answer questions from our listeners. Then Nihal wants to know, do you think that it's easy to speak out if you feel bullied in your workplace? Allegations of bullying and unfair dismissal in the beauty industry has led to the British Beauty Council calling for an independent government body to investigate these claims across all levels of the industry. Plus, Aditya Virmani, from Indian band ‘Nivid’, talks to Nihal about their new track ‘The World Around Me Sanskaari’.
