Today is such a bad day, I am so tired. I can’t hang on these bars of “Nepal Yatayat”. Ooouch!! Stupid girl, how dare she step on my foot with her pointed heels? And look at her sitting comfortably. 365 days they keep on singing “Girl power! Girl power!!”, however when time comes they can’t stand for five minutes in a bus. I am sure they would have almost killed poor me, have I seated on that so called “Mahila seat”, as if we men have vertebra of iron, born with outstanding capacity to stand. Ridiculous!!

“Bishal! Bishal!! …”

In Nepal, the average age for girls to start menstruating is 12-14 years. These years are the most vulnerable years of a teenage girl. They are just coming to terms with their sexuality when the added burden of menstruation adds up to their misery.
It happens like this. Just a normal day in school. She feels pain in her lower abdomen, she doesn’t know what it is. She has felt it for the first time. Some of her classmates know the pain and they try to help her. But the classroom is full of boys.....

“Please let me in.” she screamed, “I am afraid of the darkness. These bedbugs and flies. I can’t bear the pain of the mosquito bites. The rats and the smell…”
My heart pounded when Sita Devi said this to her parent. 12 years old girl from Tulsipur VDC of Accham district was forced to live in chhaupadi hut during menstruation. Poor family with no proper education made her to stay helpless inside the four walls of chhaupadi hut in cold winter night. Girls like her still are forced to live in chhaupadi hut during menstruation. The period pain and darkness. No one to look after.The pain and suffering of the young gir.....
