While our efforts to bring resources and education on feminine hygiene and menstruation are undoubtedly a huge step of progress for the girls at the school we visited, I can’t help but think of all the progress that can still be made in this subject. After learning more about the cultural stigmas of female menstruation, I was both fired up and inspired to learn more about the changes possible. Education, resources, and a shift in outdated traditions are all necessary for a healthy lifestyle for women, especially in rural parts of Nepal.
