Karnali students affected by lack of disabled-friendly infrastructure

Girl students with disabilities miss five days of classes during menstruation for a lack of proper infrastructure in several of the region’s schools.

Sita Sinjali Magar, a 15-year-old visually impaired sixth grader at Shree Krishna Sanskrit Secondary School in Birendranagar, skips classes for five days every month during her menstrual cycle because the school does not have accessible toilets.
