In parts of western Nepal, woman are banished to chhaupadi huts like this one in the village of Pali when they get their periods. They are considered polluted, even toxic, and an oppressive regime has evolved around this taboo — including the construction of a separate hut for menstruating women to sleep in. Some of the spaces are as small as a closet, with walls made of mud or rock. Each year, at least one woman or girl — often more — dies in these huts, from exposure to the cold, smoke inhalation or attacks by animals. The practice, which has been going on for hundreds of years, is called chhaupadi, from Nepali words that mean someone who bears an impurity. Every evening, across rippled green hills, hundreds of menstruating women and girls trudge out of their houses into #chhaupadi huts. But now, the Nepali government and advocates for women are trying to end the practice. Starting in August, it will be a crime to force a menstruating woman into seclusion, punishable by up to 3 months in jail. But it isn't clear whether the new law will make a dent in the tradition. @taratwphoto took this photo of 13-year-old Khagishara BK sitting inside a chhaupadi hut.
