It's called "period shaming". The public stigmatisation of women and girls who are menstruating. Now, three people have been arrested at a factory in Kenya after female employees were allegedly forced to undress to check who might be having a period.

A manager at Brown's Food Company was, it seems, trying to find out who had mistakenly thrown a used sanitary towel into the wrong bin. She made the women strip after attempts to extract a confession had been unsuccessful.

Gloria Orwoba is a senator in the Kenyan parliament - she told Newshour's Tim Franks that she had received a "distress call" after the incident.
