#1 is water

In Nepal women are not allowed to touch water when menstruating. This way they cannot maintain a proper hygiene of their bodies and at times experience thirst. Other people have to fetch them water instead and that may take up all day to accomplish. Women are forced to work at night and do their choirs in the darkness.

#2 is a mirror

Neither mirror nor comb is available to women with period in Nepal. It is not the biggest problem for these girls, but it highlights the attitude of the society to female bleeding. As if the woman becomes cursed and unfit to even look good during these special days.

All these things make women feel as if they are cursed through the bleeding instead of being blessed, as it makes them able to bear children. Such attitude also ruins female self-esteem and makes them disrespect their own bodies.
