Nearly eight out of 10 girls in a region of mid-Western Nepal sleep in dangerous outdoor"menstruation huts" during their period, despite the practice being outlawed, a study has found.
The illegal custom, known as"Chhaupadi," stems from a centuries-old Hindu taboo that considers women and girls as unclean during menstruation. When women are on their periods, they are forbidden from a range of everyday activities and are often confined to"menstruation huts," where they are expected to sleep at night.The practice was criminalized in 2018 after a string of high-profile deaths.
