Kalpana (name changed) of Dhakari Rural Municipality-5, now lives in a new shed when the camp demolition campaign was launched four years ago. "For fear of the law, I lived in a room with my family for a while during the campaign, now I am living in a slum again," she said, "When everyone in the village started living in a shed, I also started living in a shed."

He is just one example of first demolishing and building a new neighborhood. The campaign was launched four years ago when women who were sitting in the huts during menstruation started dying prematurely. Even those who have not built a shed, in turn hang a tent and sit there. The local level and concerned agencies do not seem to be interested in this.

Four years ago, after 20-year-old Parvati Budha Rawat of Sanfebagar Municipality-3 Siddheshwar died of suffocation in a slum, more than 10,000 slums in Achham were demolished on the instructions of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Home had instructed to demolish the encampments in 19 districts of Far West and Karnali, which are considered chaupadi. "Destroy the encampment, raise public awareness and take legal action against the violators," was the instruction in the circular. 

According to the instructions, Parvati's brother-in-law Chhatra Rawat was arrested for 45 days by the Achham Court, saying that he was forced to stay in the camp. The law was attracted for the first time, with 3 months imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 for those who live in slums and are forced to live.

At that time, according to the Ministry's circular, District Police Office Achham had demolished more than 10,000 encampments by conducting a campaign with the involvement of public representatives, police and locals in each village of 91 wards of the district. But now neither the police-administration is doing the work of demolishing and monitoring the slums, nor has the local level taken the lead in campaigning against slums. Even the elected representatives have not shown interest in the settlement and its monitoring.

Srejan Saud of Mangalsen Municipality-3 said that women who started staying at home because of the fear of the law, started to stay in the slums again when the campaign to demolish the slums was conducted. "A campaign is never done again after an incident, the Chhaupdi system can never be done," she said, "If the campaign could have been continued, there would have been some improvement." , said that there is no plan for awareness programs in the rural municipality. "When the budget is made, no allocation is made even for the women's branch, and the issue of Chhaupadi system is not even a priority," she said, "There are only programs such as discussions with girls in schools, there is no comprehensive plan. 

While menstruating, there have been cases of rape and abuse while living alone in a shelter away from home, as well as death by snake bites, suffocation and cold. 

According to Netrakaladevi Shahi, the vice president of Dhakari rural municipality, after destroying the camp during the campaign, he is currently staying in Tripal during menstruation. "Goths are not visible, Tripal hangs and sits during menstruation. They keep their tarpaulin spread during the day and sit on the fence at night,'' she said. A new kind of problem has appeared by demolishing only the sheds.

In 2075, Ramaroshan Rural Municipality, which launched a campaign to demolish the sheds with the slogan 'outside the gods, inside the chhaupadi', has not been able to continue this campaign. Village Vice President Sujana Budha said that the campaign started by the people's representative of the previous term could not be conducted now. "There is no such thing as a separate program called 'Chowgothmukt Abhiyan'. But we are doing programs in every ward covering many topics in social awareness, she said. 

Nanda Thapa, the deputy head of Badimalika municipality in Bajura, said that social evils and distortions could not be removed because of the idea that only women representatives should speak on women's issues. "We are doing programs in every village covering topics like chaupadi, violence against women, child marriage in public awareness programs, but such topics are not the priority of male representatives," she said, "I was in journalism before becoming a representative. Since I have been writing and speaking on such topics before, I am doing such programs even now under my own pressure. Since men are at the executive level, the issues that women suffer from do not touch them.' 

She said that only female ward members and deputy heads should speak on women's issues. "The emphasis of male representatives is to build roads, distribute plans, and build infrastructure," she said She said that even though it has decreased, it is customary not to use the toilet, not to go to the kitchen, not to touch the tap, not to eat milk and curd during menstruation. She said, 'Even though the custom of going to the doti camp has been removed, women are still suffering because of what they can eat, what they can't get, where they can't touch them.' She also said that she did not care about the situation after that. "When the government started the campaign, I myself went to many places to demolish sheds. There are still encampments in some parts of the district," she said. She said that the problem is not less due to geographical difficulty, illiteracy and superstition.
