Appallingly, young students have been forced to disclose their periods to teachers who keep records of their menstrual cycles and send them to so called “period rooms”. This is 2026. Treating young women like this has no place in modern Australia.

The left won't speak up for these young women, but one Nation will. This kind of fundamental extremism is exactly what One Nation opposes. The report states, “Students from Muslim schools have alleged ‘invasive’ practices, saying girls are sent to so called ‘period’ or ‘rag’ rooms instead of attending prayers, and that teachers reportedly log how many days they are on their periods.” You read that correctly.

Sent to “rag” rooms. Further allegations include coercion, with students pressured to disclose intimate details of their cycles. According to the report, while in these rooms students were made to watch indoctrination videos.

Aynur Simsirel, chief executive of Ilim College, confirmed that girls were taken to a “supervised space” called the Girls’ Room when excused from prayers for menstruation. “It is well established within Islamic practice that women who are menstruating are .... excluded". Do you like this page?
