Finally got my hands on a paper copy of my first publication! 🤩 Our chapter explores the causes and consequences of menstrual restrictions, including chhaupadi, in one district of Nepal, highlighting reasons for policy non-compliance. Available online ➡️ www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1...

A hand holding the book 'Menstruation in Nepal - Dignity Without Danger' in front of colourful bookshelves.

The first page of chapter 7 in the book, titled 'Society or the law? "No matter what law comes, this society won't stop practising chhaupadi"
