Menstrual Discrimination in Sarlahi district Nepal
Urgency to speak about Dignity of Menstrurators by boys and men
My father who never ever been to school, struggled for bread and shelter in the remote part of Nepal , about 50 years back, he sent his five daughters to school and treated them as equal as my brother by allowing us to put the fire on pyre of death body of our mother, and so on. Similarly, when I taught him about the process of menstruation, since then he never imposed any forms of restrictions during menstruation. As my father, there are many fathers or men are not only supporters, change makers, allies but also holding accountability at personal and interpersonal level without having any orientation or training around human right or advocacy. Thus, all men are not same.

Song
बाचेर मर्नेहरुको कथा हो म,
बाचेर मर्नेहरुको कथा |
जितेर हार्नेहरु, निरीह
नयनले हेरिरहेछु म,
जितेर हार्नेहरुको कथा |
शिखरमा, हिउले पुरिएकाहरुको
कथा हो म,
शिखरमा, हिउले
पुरिएकाहरुको कथा |

December 8, Dignified Menstruation day
``महिनाबारीसंग जोडेर कुनै पनि किसिमको छुवाछुत,

No Doubt: Menstrual Discrimination is a form of Gender Based Violence
Few people and organizations in Nepal and beyond get confused and are asking why is Nepal urging to celebrate the day as Dignified Menstruation (DM) for December 8? There could be many reasons behind this enquiry; they might considered menstruation is private or secrete issue, could think it is women's issue, or it's matter of `shy', or dirty, or matter of using the menstrual products without making public, or May 28 has already the Menstrual Hygiene day so it's not just making confusion or duplicate the day and so many others.
