Breaking the Silence


Breaking the Silence is a special collaboration with Dignity Without Danger: Menstruation in Nepal. We recently had to opportunity to visit communities in the western Nepal listening to mostly women and girls on various topics ranging from their lives, patriarchy, taboos, traditions, and menstrual practices. These lived experiences shed light, not only on the unjust existing social ills in our societies but also reveal how solidarity amongst women, even at times imperfect, is bringing about enduring changes they wish for their sons and daughters.
