Episode-1-When I bleed (English) Feminist Talks with Nandar
-
- Society & Culture
"I have made it very clear that if standing up for social justice and equality means letting go of my identity as a Nepali, I am not afraid to do so. I defined my own identity and I don't wanna belong to a community or ethnic group where demeaning and damaging women's self-esteem and lives are taken as pride. I wanna belong to a society where women are not discriminated against because they bleed. Because everyone deserves to bleed with dignity."
In this first episode, I spoke about the specific social taboo that led me to start my activism. It is menstrual taboo in my community. I shared about what such harmful practices did to me when I was young why we need to stop treating girls like that. I felt excluded from my own community for standing against it but despite, I continued doing it. I am not a shero but a woman that is hungry for justice and equality. What is your story? What injustice made you stand up for justice? How long have you been doing? Do you also feel excluded from your own community?
