Description
We should strive towards a society that promotes equality and eradicates all forms of prevalent discrimination. I am going to talk about Chhaoupadi, the Nepalese practice of requiring menstruating women and girls to be in isolation, its history and the demographic that is impacted. I will add my own experience in the beginning of the presentation with some pictures. I will provide the reason behind this practice and how it is rooted in the Nepalese society. At the end I will provide some solutions that show how we can eliminate such an unhealthy and unhygienic practice from the society.
