Menstruation Education Resources
Menstruation is a cross sectorial issue, dominantly linked with education, human rights, reproductive health as well as water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and gender sectors in Nepal. In the absence of informed planning, policies and programs, women and girls might be deprived of not only human dignity during their menstruation, but also suffering from social stigma and taboos around menstruation on their health and education.
In Nepal, women and girls do not have the basic right to a dignified menstrual cycle. This means that they are subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment, including abuse and violence. The exclusionary practices, stigma and prohibitions surrounding menstruation, inherent in traditional beliefs and cultural heritage practices, have a negative impact on school attendance and employment, preventing women and girls from fully participating in economic and social life. This has become an emerging problem in Nepal. Due to the lack of informed plans, policies and programs, women and girls are not only deprived of human dignity during menstruation, but also social stigma and taboo on their health and education. Majority teachers are skipping reproductive health and Menstruation content so students have rare understanding of physiology human body and its system. Therefore, A Menstruation education toolkits were developed to ease and less challenging for teacher and students while learning sexual reproductive health.
