This photo was taken from an article urging Nepal to shut down menstrual huts… and for a valid reason too… 4 women died in such huts within just a month. This is an example of the devastating conditions of the menstrual huts women in Nepal have to live in for a whole week each month. Not only do these huts lack adequate sanitation, they can be extremely dangerous to live in as they are open and leave the women inside vulnerable to wild animals and strangers. cr: https://www.voanews.com/south-central-asia/nepal-urged-shut-down-menstruation-huts-after-4th-death-month
