Episode 97 - राहतमा महिनावारी स्वास्थ्य किन छुट्नु हुँदैन?

What does it mean to manage your period when floods have taken away access to clean water, toilets, privacy and even basic personal belongings? In this episode, we look at menstrual health during Nepal’s recent floods and the realities faced by people living through displacement. We hear from women affected by the floods in Nuwakot, talk about the dignity kits being prepared and distributed, and speak with Dr Namuna Rasaili about how menstruating people can protect their health when ideal hygiene simply isn’t possible. Because menstrual health during a disaster is about much more than access to pads. It is also about clean water, safe toilets, underwear, privacy, healthcare and making sure the needs of women, girls and other menstruating people are not overlooked in emergency response.
