The stigma around menstruation has existed for as long as we can remember. Ironically, this very natural phenomenon that makes it possible to give life is the most misunderstood.

According to Population Services International Nepal research in 2017 on menstrual health, about 89% of menstruating individuals experience restrictions, big or small, during their cycle. Even chhaupadi, which is illegal, had been observed in Achham, Bajura and Parsa District during the research done by UNICEF in 2016.
