The men is the cause for violence against girls and women
हिंसाको जड

सबै भन्दा सुरक्षित स्थान कुन हो ? भनेर कसैलाई सोध्ने हो भने `घर’ सबैको साझा जबाफ आउने कुरामा दुइ मत छैन | चाहे जुन सुकै पृष्ठभूमिको होस्, घर प्यारो, राम्रो र सुरक्षित लाग्छ | घर प्रति आस्था, प्रेम र संस्कार छ तर यो बास्तबिकता हैन | बिगत लामो समय देखि देखिएका लैंगिक हिंसाहरुको तथ्यांक हेर्ने हो भने घर सुरक्षित ठाउँ हैन | छैन | सन् २०२० मा राष्ट्रिय महिला आयोगको तथ्यांक अनुसार ९३ प्रतिशत हिंसा घरमा घटेका छन् भने त्यसमा ८२ प्रतिशत घटनाहरु घरका पुरुष सदस्य जस्तो हजुरबा, बा, दाई, भाइ, काका, मामा वा घरमा काम गर्न आइरहने व्यक्ति जस्तो टिउशन पढाउन आउने शिक्षक |

Mehendi for Dignified Menstruation

Dignified Menstruation is a comprehensive approach to
address complex and multifaceted menstrual discrimination. Therefore, we have
been trying to raise awareness through sports, celebration of menarche, and
birthday, religious and cultural days, using social media. In this connection,
GFG/RPF choose the Mehendi for dignified menstruation for celebrate Shrawan
month (July 15-August 15), a month of Mehendi.
Due to COVID pandemic, the discussion took place virtually.
Then, very limited friends gathered nearby along with their siblings and made
various types of arts and slogans. They used the smart mobile to take
photographs and uploaded through Facebook and Instagram. Once it went through social media, the members of
child club from other parts of country e.g. Udayapur started to follow and
shared via social media by tagging us.
Shrawan month is an important time for Nepali people; some
celebrate only for the first day of it, some celebrate for a month, some
celebrate for weddings, and some ignore it altogether.
We decided, given it’s diverse use, that we could use the practice of Mehendi as a transformative strategy to promote dignified menstruation. This allows girls and boys, and everyone else, to connect the brain and uterus and cherish the essence of menstruation for them and for this planet. Due to the creativity and enjoyment of the practice of Mehendi, this offers the benefit of connection and bonding which are important for dismantling the taboos, myths, restrictions, shyness, silence and isolation of menstrual discrimination in Nepal. Since this campaign is being promoted through social media and going viral! the message is reaching so many people who can enjoy it and benefit.
Nepal is a Country of Dignified Menstruation

Socialization of Menstrual Discrimination
महिनाबारी विभेदको सामाजिकीकरण
काठमाडौँमा सरकारी जागिर खाने, रास्ट्रिय पत्रिकामा निरन्तर लेख्ने एक जना पुरुष मित्रले महिनाबारीका बारेमा कुरा गर्दागर्दै भन्नुभयो- मेरो छोरी ३ बर्षकी भईन उनलाई उनकी आमा नछुनी भएको थाहा छ | मैले उनकी आमालाई मनाउन सकेकीछैन | यो प्रतिनिधि घटना मात्र हो | सुन्दा यो जति सामान्य लाग्छ त्यती सामान्य बिल्कुलै छैन | अधिकाम्स शिक्षित महिला, अभियानमा लागेकाहरुमा देखिने यो साझा अभ्यास हो | उनीहरुलाई लाग्छ- सस्कार हो, आराम हुन्छ, आदि आदि |
Dignified Menstruation and SDGs
मर्यादित महिनाबारीको मूलप्रबाहीकरण दिगो विकास लक्ष्य प्राप्तिको आधार[1]
आजको दिनमा `दिगो विकास लक्ष्य’ नसुन्ने को होला ? `कोही पनि पछाडी नपरुन वा नछुटून’ भन्ने नाराका साथ अगाडी बढिरहेको यो लक्ष्य सयुक्त रास्ट्रसंघसंग आबद्द सबै राष्ट्रहरुले आ-आफ्नो देशको टार्गेट (अपेक्षित नतिजा) निर्माण गरेर काम गर्न थालेको सन् २०१५ बाट हो जसका आधारमा संसारले सन् २०३० मा सामाजिक, बाताबरणीय रुपान्तरण सहितको महत्वपूर्ण फड्को मार्ने अपेक्षा गरिएको छ | यसको कार्यन्वयनका लागि स्थानीय देखि सयुक्त राष्ट्र संघ सम्म पाच वर्ष र खरबौ खरब लगानी भैसकेको छ | जम्मा १७ वटा लक्ष्य र १६९ टार्गेट भएको यो बिश्व अभियानमा `मर्यादित महिनाबारी’ को स्थान जताततै छ तर देखाल कतै पनि छैन | अर्थात् औपचारिक रुपमा मर्यादित महिनाबारीको सूचांक प्राप्तिको लागि भनेर कतै लेखिएको छैन तर यसको सिदान्त र ब्यबहारिक पक्षलाई बिस्लेषण गर्ने हो भने जतातै छ | कुनै कुनै सस्थाहरुले महिनाबारीलाई स्वास्थ्य, सरसफाई संग कसैले लैंगिक समानता संग जोडेर तर छुटाछुटै सम्बोधन गर्न कोशिस गरेका भने छन् | महिनाबारी प्राकृतिक तर जटिल र बहुमुखी अबस्था भएकोले एस्तो एकांकी र टुक्रे सम्बोधनले दिगो विकास लक्ष्य पुरा हुन् सक्दैन | यो पृष्ठभूमिमा दिगो बिकास लक्ष्यमा काम गर्ने सबै सरोकारवालाहरुले `मर्यादित महिनाबारी’ लाई किन बिर्सन हुदैन वा यसको मूलप्रबाहीकरण किन आबश्यक र महत्वपूर्ण छ भन्ने सबालमा केन्द्रित रहेर लेखिएको लेख हो |

Question from YUWA: What strives does the Government and CSOs need to make Vision 2030 a reality in Nepal and what role can youth play in it?
Answer: Government and CSOs needs to unveil that the menstruation is complex and multifaceted phenomenon that needs holistic approach `menstrual dignity’ to address it. Menstrual Discrimination (taboos, stigma, shyness, restriction, discrimination, violence) are the form of gender based violence and violation of human right. The nine SDGs goals directly linked with menstrual dignity. Therefore, all actors should redefine their strategies to make vision 2030 a reality in Nepal where `Dignified Menstruation’ as cross cutting issue.
The language is important to shape our mind set and behavior
therefore government and CSOs should focus on `menstrual talk, dignity
first’ while working around the menstrual activism. The activities
silos on products, hygiene and infrastructure are an important element of
menstrual dignity but merely address the overarching goal of gender equality, justice,
prosperity and peace. And only youth should accountable for it by crossing the
floor of their politics or connection for becoming role models to our future.

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.

बाचेर मर्नेहरुको कथा हो म,
बाचेर मर्नेहरुको कथा |
जितेर हार्नेहरु, निरीह
नयनले हेरिरहेछु म,

शिखरमा, हिउले
पुरिएकाहरुको कथा |

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.
