Thank you Green Tara Nepal for this opportunity and working for Dignity Project of Women in Bajhyang and Bajura. For faith healers, it was follow up meeting whereas other groups were new ( I facilitated a day workshop with faith healers an exactly a year back in Pokhara). It was sad that there was little change in 2 years of implementation of projects regards to dignified menstruation. Many of them including journalists, women political leaders and other frontline workers did not know about menstruation, menstrual discrimination and dignified menstruation. In other words many of them are practicing sets of menstrual discrimination. Few journalists and women leaders shared that they can't practice the dignified menstruation publicly. And few of them also manifested a corrupt attitude while claiming the money against transport and daily allowances. Despite challenges, Green Tara Nepal is trying its best and few changes observed too though long way to go.
