Menstruation matters: Is Nepal breaking myths and embracing change?

Menstruation is a natural, biological process that transcends culture, race, and creed. Yet, in the heart of Nepal, remains shackled by archaic myths and age-old taboos. While some might argue that times are changing, the deeply ingrained superstitions associated with menstruation continue to haunt Nepali society, affecting women who bear the brunt of these stigmas.

In a world where gender equality and women’s rights are championed , it is disheartening to witness women pay the price for an utterly natural cycle.
