In Nepal, menstrual taboos, especially during festivals, still restrict women's participation in rituals and limit their access to kitchens and worship spaces due to notions of impurity. In this festival special episode of Gulabi Sambad, we question the relevance of these age-old beliefs. Joining us is writer Sarala Gautam, who highlights how these practices infringe upon women’s freedoms and ignore the life-giving essence of menstruation. Gautam delves into the cultural struggle between tradition and awareness, urging us to reconsider outdated views that marginalize menstruating women.

Digital safety is crucial as online sexual harassment and cyberbullying are on the rise, especially affecting adolescents. These forms of abuse can take many shapes, including unwanted messages, images, or threats. To protect themselves in digital spaces, young people should be cautious about sharing personal information, use privacy settings, and report inappropriate behavior. It's important to understand digital consent, which means respecting others' boundaries online, just like in person. Adolescents should be provided with resources like educational guides and trusted platforms to learn about consent and ways to stay safe online.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we have highlighted the same with Adcovate Baburam Aryal, an expert on information technology law. Aryal has discussed how adolescents can protect themselves in digital spaces and ways of providing resources and guidance on
digital consent.

Episode 98, Season 02, Digital Safety and Online Sexual Harassment, Podcast Gulabi Sambad 

Consent and boundaries are fundamental to the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of children and adolescents. It is essential to ensure they understand their right to bodily autonomy, the ability to make informed decisions, and the importance of respecting their own and others' boundaries. Comprehensive sexuality education tailored to their age helps them navigate relationships, recognize inappropriate behavior, and understand that consent must always be freely given, mutual, and reversible. Protecting their SRHR involves creating safe, non-judgmental spaces where they can ask questions, express concerns, and access services without fear or coercion.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we sit down with Prakash Lamichhane, a media professional with over two decades of experience and a parent of two. Lamichhane shares his insights on teaching his children about consent and boundaries, reflecting on both the challenges and the positive outcomes he encountered along the way. He also emphasizes the importance of discussing consent and boundaries in the context of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for children and adolescents, highlighting why these conversations are crucial for their development.

In Nepal, menstruation is still surrounded by various cultural taboos, particularly during festivals and religious rituals. If a woman begins menstruating during a festival, she is often prohibited from participating in any rituals or religious activities. Beyond festivals, during menstruation, women are commonly restricted from entering the kitchen or worship rooms, as they are considered impure. These taboos, deeply rooted in traditional beliefs, continue to marginalize menstruating women, preventing them from fully engaging in both social and spiritual life.
In the festival special episode of Gulabi Sambad, we discuss whether traditional menstrual taboos are still relevant or necessary. Although menstruation is a natural process and menstrual blood is not impure, these deep-rooted practices persist in society. In this episode, we engage in an insightful conversation with writer Sarala Gautam, who sheds light on how these superstitions limit women's freedom and overlook their life-giving power. Gautam emphasizes that menstrual taboos stem from a struggle between creativity and awareness.

Sexual health, sexuality, and mental health are especially important during festivals, as societal expectations and family gatherings can increase stress. Traditions often limit open conversations, particularly for those with diverse sexual identities. Discussing these topics during festivals promotes acceptance, reduces stigma, and ensures everyone feels supported and able to prioritize their well-being. Addressing all these, in this episode of podcast we have had an insightful conversation with Rakshya Ghimire, Mental Health Counselor.

Sexual abuse and exploitation by someone known during festivals is a serious issue that often gets overlooked. Festivals bring people together, but they can also give abusers—usually family members or trusted people—a chance to take advantage of others, especially women and children. The trust within these relationships makes it easier for abusers to hide their actions or stop victims from speaking up. Cultural pressures, like keeping family secrets or respecting elders, often prevent survivors from coming forward, allowing the abuse to continue.
In this festival-centric episode of Gulabi Sambad, we focus on the issue of sexual harassment and abuse, particularly in the context of festivals, with references to cases from the Terai region of Nepal. To shed light on the topic, we are joined by Sushma Sharma, who is deeply involved in counseling children affected by sexual harassment and violence in Madesh Pradesh.

Episode 94, Season 02, Sexual Abuse and Exploitation by Known Person, Podcast Gulabi Sambad

Toxic relationships can have severe emotional, mental, and even physical consequences. They often lead to feelings of low self-worth, anxiety, and depression as individuals endure manipulation, control, or constant criticism. Over time, these harmful dynamics can erode self-confidence, isolate a person from supportive networks, and lead to stress-related health issues such as insomnia, headaches, or weakened immunity. In extreme cases, toxic relationships may result in long-term trauma, affecting one&#39;s ability to trust or form healthy relationships in the future.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we explore why people struggle to leave toxic relationships, even when facing abuse and disrespect from partner. We discuss the physical and mental health impacts of toxic relationships and share insights from social media users. Also, this episode features an interactive and insightful conversation with Counseling Psychologist Tara Adhikari.

In Nepal, Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) are essential in addressing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in rural areas. However, they face challenges like limited resources, cultural barriers, and insufficient training. These difficulties are heightened by societal norms that restrict discussions on sensitive SRHR issues. Despite these challenges, FCHVs remain crucial in promoting SRHR awareness, emphasizing the need for better support and training.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we explore these topics through a conversation with Shanta Poudel, a Female Community Health Volunteer from Bardiya. Poudel shares her experiences working as an FCHV, highlighting her dedication, along with other FCHVs, to improving the lives of local citizens.

In Nepal, the efficiency of milk banks is vital for providing safe and nutritious breast milk to vulnerable infants, especially those in neonatal care. Paropakar Maternity and Women&#39;s Hospital in Thapathali, Kathmandu, has been successfully operating a milk bank for several years. However, public awareness of the benefits of breast milk and the role of milk banks remains limited. By increasing education and outreach efforts, we can improve public understanding, encourage more donations, and enhance the impact of milk banks on infant health across the country.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we explore the current status of the milk bank at Paropakar Maternity and Women&#39;s Hospital, its operations, and ways to raise awareness about the importance of breast milk. To provide insights, we interviewed Dr. Kalpana Subedi, Chief Consultant Pediatrician at the hospital.

Supplement capsules are popular and marketed as essential for good health, but many experts say a balanced diet can provide most nutrients without them. This means their benefits might be overhyped. However, some supplements are important for reproductive health. For example, folic acid helps prevent birth defects, and omega-3 fatty acids can improve fertility. It&#39;s important to talk to a doctor before taking any supplements to avoid possible negative effects. 
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we discussed nutrition with Dr. Aruna Uprety, a Public Health Expert. Dr. Uprety highlighted the nutritional benefits of locally available foods and explained when taking supplements becomes necessary.

Breastfeeding is crucial in Nepal for the health and development of infants, providing essential nutrients and antibodies that boost immunity and reduce the risk of infections. Despite its benefits, breastfeeding practices face challenges in the country. Cultural beliefs, lack of awareness, and inadequate support for breastfeeding mothers contribute to suboptimal breastfeeding rates. The government and various organizations are working to promote breastfeeding through awareness campaigns and policies to improve maternal and child health. However, more efforts are needed to ensure widespread adoption of optimal breastfeeding practices across all regions of Nepal. Highlighting all these, in this episode of the podcast Gulabi Sambad, we have discussed the importance and current status of breastfeeding in Nepal.

Exploring masturbation involves understanding its health benefits, debunking common myths, and recognizing its positive impacts. Masturbation is a natural and safe way to explore one&#39;s body, providing physical and mental health benefits such as stress relief, improved mood, and better sleep. Despite misconceptions, it doesn&#39;t cause bodily harm or lead to addiction. Embracing masturbation as a normal part of sexual health can enhance self-awareness and contribute to overall well-being.
Highlighting all these aspects, in this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we discussed masturbation with Dr. Badri Chapagain, Chief Consultant Dermatologist (11th Level) at Bheri Hospital.

During crises like natural disasters or conflicts, sexual harassment increases vulnerability among displaced populations, especially impacting women, children, and LGBTQ+ individuals. It worsens trauma and mental health challenges. Reporting is difficult due to fear, distrust, and communication disruptions. Effective responses need coordinated efforts from humanitarian groups, local authorities, and communities to create safe spaces, promote gender equality, and ensure accountability through clear legal frameworks.
During the monsoon season, floods and landslides frequently occur across the country, forcing affected people to seek safer spaces for survival. However, this search for safety brings a high risk of sexual assault by both known and unknown individuals. Unfortunately, such incidents have occurred in the past, leaving many as victims of sexual harassment.
In this episode of Gulai Sambad, we address the risk of sexual harassment during crises and explore ways to mitigate these incidents. Our discussion includes interviewing Nirajan Khadka, SRHR-Technical Advisor at Plan International Nepal. Khadka highlights the risks of sexual harassment in crises and suggests possible measures to reduce these cases.

During crises like floods and landslides, managing menstrual health is challenging due to limited access to sanitary products, privacy, and hygiene facilities, along with increased health risks and stigma. Solutions include stockpiling supplies, providing emergency kits, setting up private and hygienic spaces in shelters, and educating communities. Policies should integrate menstrual health into disaster plans. Continuous monitoring and feedback help improve responses, ensuring the dignity and health of menstruating individuals during emergencies.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we talk with Dr. Radha Poudel, a writer and advocate for Dignified Menstruation. Dr. Poudel discusses the challenges of managing menstrual health during crises and offers strategies to address these issues. She also highlights the essential menstrual hygiene products that should be included in emergency kits.

Infertility is when a person cannot get pregnant after a year of trying or cannot carry a pregnancy to term. It affects both men and women and can be caused by issues like hormone problems, genetic conditions, lifestyle factors, or certain medical conditions. Women may face infertility due to conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or blocked fallopian tubes, while men might have low sperm count or poor sperm movement. Infertility can cause emotional stress and relationship problems. However, medical advances like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART) offer hope for those struggling with infertility, providing new ways to become parents.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we interviewed Dr. Swasti Sharma, a renowned Gynecologist, Obstetrician, and Infertility Specialist. Dr. Sharma delves into infertility, discussing its causes, impacts, and treatment options.

Coping with the stress of SEE results can be tough for students. It&#39;s important to remember that these results don&#39;t define your worth or future. Talk to family, friends, or counselors about your feelings. Use relaxation techniques like mindfulness, meditation, and exercise to manage stress. Enjoying hobbies and activities outside of academics can also help. Remember, setbacks are temporary, and there are many ways to achieve success. We wish the best of luck to all students taking re-exam or preparing to take the exam next year.

During the summer, new moms need to focus on hygiene and comfort. Wearing loose, breathable clothing and staying in cool environments helps reduce sweating. Regular showers with mild soap keep the skin clean, and drinking plenty of water is important for hydration. To care for the perineal area, use a peri bottle with warm water after using the toilet, pat the area dry, and change pads often. If there are stitches, keep the area clean, use sitz baths, and avoid tampons until healed. Watch for signs of infection, like increased pain or unusual discharge. For breast care, clean nipples with water after breastfeeding, let them air dry, use breathable breast pads, and wear a supportive bra. Avoid overexertion, gradually ease into activities, eat a balanced diet, and keep regular healthcare appointments for a smooth recovery.
Highlighting all these, this episode of Gulabi Sambad includes a conversation with Dr. Ranjana Sah, a Gynecologist and Obstetrician.

Workplace harassment, including sexual and mental forms, harms employees&#39; well-being and productivity. Sexual harassment involves unwanted advances or conduct of a sexual nature, causing trauma and job dissatisfaction. Mental harassment, or bullying, includes hostile behavior like verbal abuse and exclusion, leading to anxiety and low morale. Organizations can prevent this by having clear anti-harassment policies, regular training, and confidential reporting systems, along with supporting affected employees. Legal protections require employers to ensure a safe, respectful work environment. By fostering a positive workplace culture and thorough investigation processes, companies can protect their employees and comply with legal standards.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we explore workplace harassment in Nepal. It starts with personal stories from the audience, offering a real look at the issue. We then interview Saroj Giri, an advocate who explains the laws against workplace harassment.

Teenage abortion and unsafe abortion practices in Nepal have severe consequences on physical, mental, social, and public health. Physically, unsafe abortions can lead to hemorrhage, infections, organ damage, and even death, while teenagers face higher risks of complications due to physical immaturity. Mentally, the psychological impact includes depression, anxiety, PTSD, and stigma-induced isolation. Socially, affected teenagers often face family and community rejection, disrupted education, and economic burdens from medical costs and loss of productivity. Legally, there are risks of criminal charges and exploitation in areas with restricted abortion laws. Public health consequences include increased maternal mortality and morbidity and a significant strain on the healthcare system. Mitigating these effects requires comprehensive sex education, improved access to reproductive health services, psychological support, and community programs to reduce stigma and support affected young women.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we explore the issue of teenage abortion, unsafe abortion, and the consequences of frequently using contraceptive pills with Dr. Shree Prasad Adhikari, a Senior Gynecologist and Obstetrician, and Director at the Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Thapathali.

Episode 80, Season 02, Consequences of Teenage Abortion and Unsafe Abortion Practices in Nepal, Podcast Gulabi Sambad

Teenage pregnancy has far-reaching impacts and consequences that affect both the young parents and society as a whole. Young mothers often face significant health risks, including complications during childbirth, due to their bodies not being fully developed. Additionally, teenage parents are more likely to experience interrupted education, which can lead to limited job prospects and long-term economic challenges. This perpetuates a cycle of poverty and reduced life opportunities for both the parents and their children. Socially, teenage parents may encounter stigma and isolation, which can impact their mental health and overall well-being. The broader societal implications include increased healthcare and social service costs, as well as the potential for higher rates of juvenile delinquency among children born to teenage parents. Addressing adolescent pregnancy requires comprehensive sex education, accessible contraception, and supportive services to ensure young people can make informed choices and receive the care they need. 
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we explore the issue of teenage pregnancy with Dr. Shree Prasad Adhikari, a Senior Gynecologist and Obstetrician, and Director at the Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital, Thapathali. Dr. Adhikari provides an in-depth explanation of what teenage pregnancy entails, discusses the current status of adolescent pregnancy in Nepal, and examines both the short-term and long-term impacts. Additionally, he outlines strategies to mitigate these effects.

Menstruation affects many in the LGBTIQA+ community, including transgender men and non-binary individuals, who face unique challenges. Menstruation can worsen gender dysphoria and mental health issues, as it reminds them of a body part that doesn't match their gender identity. They also struggle with accessing menstrual products and healthcare because these are often geared towards cisgender women. Social stigma and isolation make it hard for them to talk about their experiences or seek help. To support them better, we need inclusive education, awareness campaigns, healthcare training, gender-neutral products, and community support. Recognizing and addressing their needs is crucial for a more inclusive society.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we're focusing on menstruation within the queer community and the challenges they face in maintaining menstrual hygiene. Joining the conversation, we have Transman Chesang and Bisexual Rita.

Men can help fight this issue by learning about menstruation, supporting policies for better access to menstrual products, and creating supportive environments at work and school. By challenging negative language and behaviors and joining community efforts, men can help normalize menstruation and reduce stigma. Therefore, in this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we have addressed the importance of men&#39;s engagement in breaking barriers related to menstruation.

Joining the conversation, we have Nirajan Khadka, SRHR–Technical Advisor, and Shreejana Bajracharya, Campaign Specialist and SRHR Expert at Plan International Nepal, an organization championing child rights and gender equality.

Current Nepali cinemas address sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) by focusing on awareness, education, and empowerment. Filmmakers are challenging societal taboos, advocating for informed decision-making on family planning and gender equality. They critique issues like child marriage and gender-based violence, calling for systemic reforms.

Research on how pornography affects sexual satisfaction in relationships has shown mixed results. Some studies say watching porn can make people less satisfied sexually because it creates unrealistic expectations or makes them less attracted to their partner. Yet, other studies suggest it might not have any effect or could even be positive by encouraging sexual exploration and communication between partners.
However, excessive consumption or secrecy surrounding pornography use can lead to feelings of betrayal, insecurity, and dissatisfaction. Thus, the relationship between pornography viewing and sexual satisfaction is complex and multifaceted, influenced by various personal and relational factors that warrant further investigation and understanding.
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we delve into the question of whether integrating pornographic videos into intimate moments within a physical relationship improves overall sexual satisfaction. Tune in to the podcast for an insightful exploration of this topic.

The analysis of virginity's impact on women's mental health reveals a complex interaction of cultural, societal, and individual factors. Across many cultures, virginity is highly valued for women, leading to pressure to meet rigid standards. This often creates feelings of shame and anxiety if expectations aren't met. Additionally, inadequate sexual education can worsen these issues. Factors like race and class also play a role. Empowering women to make informed choices, challenging stereotypes, and providing support networks are crucial for promoting positive mental health outcomes in navigating societal attitudes towards virginity. 
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we delved into a socio-psychological examination of virginity and its impact on women's mental health, featuring insights from psychologist Jamuna Sharma. Sharma has described the deeply ingrained societal perceptions surrounding virginity and how these beliefs infringe upon the rights of girls and women, ultimately affecting their mental well-being.

Episode 64, S2, Socio-Psychological Analysis of Virginity and Its Influence on Women's Mental Health, Podcast Gulabi Sambad

Understanding virginity, the hymen, and their connections to sexual health involves considering cultural, medical, and social factors. Virginity is often seen as never having had sex, but its meaning varies between cultures. The hymen is a thin membrane near the vaginal opening, but it&#39;s not a reliable sign of virginity as it can vary and be affected by activities unrelated to sex. Thinking that an intact hymen proves virginity can lead to harmful beliefs and practices. While the hymen might matter in medical exams, its presence doesn&#39;t guarantee sexual health. It&#39;s important to correct misunderstandings, share accurate information, and have open conversations about these topics to help people make informed choices about their bodies and sexuality. 
In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we have discussed these topics with Dr. Prakriti Sitaula, Gynecologist and Obstetrician.

Birth defects are structural or functional abnormalities present at birth that can affect a baby&#39;s physical or mental development. These defects can occur in various parts of the body and may result from genetic factors, environmental exposures, or a combination of both. One of the most important and preventable birth defects is neural tube defects (NTDs).
Neural tube defects are a group of birth defects that affect the brain and spinal cord&#39;s development. They can lead to serious health issues, such as paralysis, intellectual disabilities, and even death. The most common types of NTDs are anencephaly (a severe underdevelopment of the brain) and spina bifida (a malformation of the spinal cord and spine).
The link between birth defects and the consumption of folic acid is primarily related to the prevention of NTDs. Neural tube defects are a specific category of birth defects that involve abnormalities in the development of the neural tube, which eventually forms the baby&#39;s brain and spinal cord. Folic acid plays a crucial role in preventing these defects. 
To address all these interconnections between birth defects and consumption of folic acid, this episode of Gulabi Sambad incorporates the conversation with Dr. Benju Koirala, Gynecologist, and Obstetrician. Koirala has highlighted the role of folic acid in neural tube development, prevention of neural tube defects, dietary sources of folic acid, and so on.
