May is International Menstrual Hygiene Month, and in this special episode, we take you to Matela Village in Kalikot, Nepal. Women who previously had no access to menstrual products are now making their own pads from available cloth at home.

These women, who used to be confined to their houses or forced to live in sheds (Chaugoth) during their periods, can now speak freely about menstruation. This transformation is a small but powerful example of the change we hope to see across all communities: dignity and access to menstrual hygiene for every woman.

In this episode of Period Kaa Kura, Miss Nepal World 2023, Srichchha Pradhan shares her experiences with period stigma, menstrual products, and the importance of sustainable menstruation practices. She also shares some tips on making your period smooth and easy, as she says, "Taking care of your health is taking care of nature.
