It was life long advocate to make every menstruators life dignified. March 21, 2025 was a historical day in a course of feminism, development and human rights not only in Nepal but also all around the globe. Despite all challenges, with collective efforts we reached at this level. I sincerely expressed my heartfelt thank you and congratulations.
