From stigma to solutions: harnessing local wisdom to tackle harms associated with menstrual seclusion (chhaupadi) in Nepal

Dr. Baumann and her team used human centered design and a community-engaged approach to contextualize chhaupadi and the development of 5 community-created interventions.

These interventions prioritized tackling deleterious aspects of chhaupadi, as well as acknowledge the deep-rooted significance, history, and positive aspects that some women may wish to preserve.
