| Introduction | I have lost many of my pieces when I was young due to some reason. Now, I am travelling so much in rural and crisis areas so I like to post whatever I can formulate from my heart. I am posting here for my record and satisfaction. Most of the times, I unable to read even twice. There are many typo errors though I don't mind. I will work later when the things settle in future (I hope). I have upload the photos as well, all were taken verbal consent. Please do not use these photos and videos without my permission. I will sue if I aware such unethical use of my contents. Since 2016, it is called Radha Paudel Foundation due to commonalities and relevancy with foundation on my name.

| Interests | For last few years, I have been advocating for avoiding the use of word `Chhauapdi’ which means menstruation in local Achhami language. I learned it from UNICEF office at UN office, Pulchock, Lalitpur while I was doing my thesis for my bachelor of nursing in 1997/1998. I use this word for years. Later, while I was working/researching all around the country and beyond, I confirmed that I am doing wrong. Sincere apology for it. I apologize almost all programs, trainings, media and I also do here as well. In Nepal, I identified more than 50 euphemisms for menstruation and over 5000 reported globally. According to the resolution motion on dignified menstruation 21 March 2025 also appealed for it. In this blog, I uploaded few photos/information in past. These are visible forms of menstrual discrimination indeed. All around the globe, menstrual discrimination is existed with different name, forms and magnitude. Therefore, it is not a traditional harmful practice as well. |
