In rural Nepal, menstruating women must stay in cowsheds while menstruating and cannot touch other people or most food. The practice endangers women’s health and often prevents them from completing their education. This presentation will discuss the causes and effects of this system and propose a program to eliminate it. This project was undertaken as an Honors College Capstone.
