DIGNITY ROCKS!!!
Education should be a space of empowerment, yet for many adolescent girls in Nepal, the challenges of menstrual health and gender biases in schools remained a daily struggle. While schools on paper had Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) corners, feasibility assessments in the beginning of the project revealed a different reality—many lacked proper equipment, and sanitary pad distribution systems have run dry. Without essential resources, girls continued to face barriers to managing their health with dignity.
Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) education is crucial, yet its effectiveness varied. While some teachers believed the curriculum sufficiently covered vital topics like child marriage and menstrual health, female teachers pointed out a glaring issue—many male teachers used to skip over these topics, leaving students without proper guidance. Therefore, one major challenge of the project was the lack of local representation among secondary school teachers, most of whom were male and not from the community. This detachment from the lived experiences of adolescent girls resulted in a blind spot when it came to recognizing gender discrimination.
By providing proper resources, strengthening teacher training, and encouraging open discussions about menstrual health and gender equality, the project DIGNITY FOR WOMEN is creating an education system where every girl feels safe, supported, and empowered.
Now it’s time to turn courage into action—because when we break these barriers, we pave the way for stronger, more confident generations.
Please help with your donation to empower women and girls in Nepal!
