Our first stop on this quest is Nepal, a mountainous country in South Asia, home to Mt Everest, the world’s tallest mountain. Alongside this fame it is also a country with a lot of controversy around menstruation, as the practice of Chaupaddi (complete isolation of menstruating women) is still common place in rural Nepal, despite it being banned by the Nepali Supreme Court in 2004. We will explore this practice more over the coming six weeks as we talk to Nepali women and organisations about their experiences of menstruation.
