Violence against women is a universal reality which cuts across cultural, religious, economic and geographical boundaries. Various forms of traditional beliefs are upheld by the human society as social ethics for controlling the sexuality and status of women.

Women from suburban background between age 18years 30 years (Mean age, 27.12 years, SD, 1-55 years) who have undergone intimate partner violence were considered for the study. The research was conducted in the natural setting of the participant. In the research, purposive sampling approach had been used and continued till sample size was met. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for eight respondents from suburban setup. Considering India's patriarchal societal culture, subjugated women and justified male violence towards women.

The code red i s a bleeding woman's experience of menarche in relation to the broader cultural, religious, and societal environment reveal secrecy to be a defining feature of many lives. Celebration and rituals are unique to every society and culture. Every culture through the function to celebrate events is different but the underlying goal is the same, and the rituals are symbolic and meaningful and perform some specific purpose. A series of transition mark life of every individual from one social status to another and every culture prescribes some rites (rituals) to depict and accompany that individual in transition (Gennep,1960). The review is a peep into a world that still carries shame around women's functional, biological process and yet has a place for celebration of the bleeding goddess and women.Keywords
