Post by: theking on December 08, 2019, 08:47:00 PM

something concrete about it but at least there's progress  ??? ..Hopefully this will send a clear message to primitives that continue to practice these basic human rights violation primitive practices that are not relevant anymore (don't think it ever was but due to ignorance...) :knuppel2::

Woman’s Death Prompts Nepal To Make First-Ever ‘Period Hut’ Arrest

After a 21-year-old woman died in Nepal after spending three frigid nights in an unheated “period hut,” local police made what’s been described as the country’s first-ever arrest in connection with the illegal — but centuries-old — practice of chhaupadi. 

The tradition, which is linked to Hinduism, dictates that menstruating women be banished from their homes for the duration of their periods. Though Nepal outlawed chhaupadi in 2005, it continues to be practiced in some rural communities. Stories of women dying from exposure, snakebites, smoke inhalation and other causes while exiled in menstrual huts are not uncommon.

This remind me of the traditional 1 month abstention of traditional Hmong homes for new mothers or single Hmong females are refrained from giving birth in their parents home and can not return until one month after.

Period shaming can be as bad as being locked up in isolation for some:

Nepal is also located near Mt. Everest so it should make sense not to treat women like that
and "Menstrual Hut" like this will not do much but....primiti ve is, primitive does:
