Shame, shame, and more shame; every man at the meeting felt as though they had no idea what the women around them went through on a daily basis, let alone after they had children. Mina forced them to watch a video that highlighted what it was like to not just be born female in their country, but also the pressures of getting married and having children. It ended with a thirty-two-year-old woman giving birth, and Mina made sure that it was graphic.
The video did not mention any relationship issues that may arise after marriage, but focused solely on the amount of work the average woman did in her household, and how it increased after having children. It also spotlighted the hormonal changes that most women experienced during that time, and how serious issues went largely ignored because most women were too busy taking care of the needs of their family to take care of their own mental health issues.
