Youth activism has increased in Palpa to remove misconceptions about menstruation. A 'monthly fair' is also being conducted here with the youth's activism. Awareness programs are held as part of the fair which started with the youth's activism. More than 100 youth participate in the fair named 'Project Rajaswala'. "We started with 10-15 young people," said youth activist Dr. Vinu Nepal, "now we are running a campaign with the active participation of more than 100 young people."

'Project Menstruation' is organized in April and May of every English year. Under this, elocution competitions, school education programs, public awareness plays, and public awareness games are being played. Activist Nepal said that the youth are equally interested in the campaign being carried out by the Rotract Club of Palpa Lumbini here. "I am a doctor by profession, but I am in a campaign to remove the misconception of menstruation, which is one of the evils of the society," she said, "I have played an active role in it for three years." is According to the activist Nepal, the campaign has been conducted for a week to a month. He suggests, "To make menstruation decent, it should start from the family." Menstruation is a normal natural state. But menstruation is still considered bad in society. That is why most women cannot even discuss this in public, said Sneha Basnet, another activist. She said that British Watson of "Peace for Nepal" organization taught her how to make reusable sanitary pads and took them as a fair.  To break the story, women have many misconceptions about menstruation. Menstruation is a physiological biological process. That is why it is important for women to get scientific information about menstruation, she said. "It is still said that you should not eat sour, starchy and spicy food when you are menstruating," she said. Do not exercise during menstruation, you should rest. She said that the fair also helps to remove various misconceptions about menstruation. 

There are also beliefs such as not bathing or washing hair during menstruation. However, there is still the practice of hanging around and living together in the society. "The issue of menstruation has not yet been explained," said Dr. Nepal, the founder of the Rotract Club of Palpa Lumbini.  To break the story, International Menstruation Day has been celebrated every year. The Ministry of Women and Children has also made guidelines to treat menstruation in a dignified manner. But it has not been properly applied in all the state bodies, in all areas. "Not only the monthly fair, but also when going to do awareness programs, various things were heard," said another activist, Rajesh Koirala, "it cannot be resolved immediately and recently." However, we have done information as much as possible.' According to him, awareness is being raised by reaching schools, mothers' groups and clubs. During the Menstruation Fair, teaching is done in a fun way. "We are happy that students can also speak openly about menstruation," he said, "It is nice to see that some students have made reusable sanitary pads themselves."

is still hesitant about menstruation. Another young activist Smarikasingh Pradhan said that the Menstruation Mela will help a lot to eliminate this. She said that fairs and awareness programs are being conducted on the occasion of Menstruation Day with the aim of eliminating ignorance about menstruation. 'Most people do not talk openly about menstruation and there are negative thoughts and misconceptions about the natural process in the rural areas He suggests that since menstruation is a natural process, the tendency to treat it as a sin or something wrong should be stopped. She said that awareness programs should be started at the school level to remove misconceptions about menstruation. The youth says that it is important to understand that this is a natural process. "How it is done, special attention should be paid to safety and cleanliness," she said. Still, in some places girls are kept out of the house during menstruation. It is her experience that the fair has become helpful in eradicating misconceptions and superstitions about menstruation.  Sowakant Neupane, branch manager of the Nepal Family Planning Association, said that the stalls at the

fair will provide information on the use of menstrual pads and their benefits, menstrual cups, and nutritious foods during menstruation. Especially the students studying MBBS in Lumbini Medical College have started this campaign. More than a dozen organizations, including the Family Planning Association, the Health Office, have coordinated and assisted in this. Tikaram Adhikari, Information Officer of the Health Office, Palpa, said that by participating in the Menstruation Mela, it is believed that they will help to remove the misconceptions about this issue. He said that such fairs would be effective if they could reach rural areas and make them aware. "We have a lack of budget," he said, "there is nothing but encouraging the campaign of the youth."
