We appreciate the importance of the contextualized teaching of Biology, we have outlined as the main aim of this search the analysis and discussion of teaching issues experienced throughout the approach of the female reproductive system from activities that problematized topics of the everyday situations of students apart from morphology/physiology, for example, myths and taboos related to menstruation, menstrual poverty, and body standard imposition. The activities were developed within the context of the Pedagogical Residency Program (PRP) in a public school with students from the 9th grade of Elementary School. We have seen that the students maintain and manifest some beliefs and taboos about menstruation and had never heard of menstrual poverty. Some of them agree that menstruation is shameful, it makes women unclean, and they were unanimous about saying that premenstrual tension makes women more stressed. In front of these results, it is evident the importance of working on these themes in school aiming to problematize the interdictions imposed on bodies that experience menstruation in daily life, as well as encourage the creation of public policies, when it comes to poverty menstruation, and the promotion of specific actions that could reduce cases of truancy during the menstrual period.
