Embarking on menstruation with disabilities requires tailored support and resources. Education about menstruation, access to suitable products, and open communication with caregivers are essential. In Nepal, the absence of inclusive practices presents challenges for girls and women with disabilities to embrace their menstrual cycles confidently. This episode of Gulabi Sambad focuses on the menstruation experiences of physically disabled girls and women, emphasizing menstrual hygiene.
Joining us for this important discussion are Smarika Pokharel, a visually impaired Youth Council Member of Plan International Nepal and a youth advocate at UNFPA, Rebita Deula, a youth with hearing impairment advocating for the rights of individuals with hearing disabilities through the Kathmandu Deaf Association, facilitated by experienced Deaf Interpreter Prakash Maharjan. We also have Devi Acharya, president of the Nepal Spinal Cord Injury Sports Association, dedicated to advancing sports opportunities for physically disabled individuals, particularly women.
