End Menstruation Exile.
During the practice of Chhaupadi, which is wide-spread in parts of Nepal, girls and women are regarded as 'impure' during their period. They are excluded from participating in socio-economic and school life, locked out of the house (sometimes sleeping in sheds), refused access to public areas, cannot eat certain foods and have no contact with men. This project decreases discriminatory practices surrounding periods, transforms assumptions and repairs the self-confidence of affected women.
