Menstruation is a part of life for girls, but in Nepal, far too many suffer because of myths, shame, and lack of resources. Girls may be embarrassed or not prepared for the first period and, therefore, end up with poor personal hygiene and even miss school.
In remote areas like the Terai, the challenges are even more pronounced, where many girls face cultural taboos, inadequate hygiene facilities, and limited access to sanitary products. These barriers contribute to poor personal hygiene, missed school days, and overall stigma. Menstrual health education is crucial to address these issues, empower girls, and help them manage their periods confidently.
