A touching insight into a hidden world is revealed in photos taken by a group of young girls from Sindhuli who documented the restrictions imposed on them during their monthly period. The beautiful pictures reveal some of the social taboos surrounding menstruation as it is considered to make them ‘impure’ or ‘contaminated’ in Nepali culture.

This was the first time the girls had ever used a camera, and they proudly exhibited their work in their community to help facilitate open discussion around menstrual taboos.

This talk will look at the concept and processes behind the project as well as the wider social impact.
