Hima Bista, Executive Director of Woman Lead Nepal, said that she has the right to choose her own body.

In the fifth edition of 'Nirvik Nari' organized by Nari Masik, a co-publication of Kantipur Media Group, Bishta said that the right to a person's body is a human rights issue. Also, she said that there is a law in this regard in Nepal, but it has not been clearly explained.

'We have progressive laws . The first thing that comes up is abortion rights . What is this ? Who has access to it ? We don't even get to discuss that," she said in the fourth session of the program, "Freedom is my happiness", "this law is clear and what it says is not so clear." He also said that even though menses have been talked about outside, there is still no chance to openly talk about menopause.

"If we talk to a woman at 40/50 in menopause, we say that she is old now," she said, "There are many changes in a woman's body." But the society has not yet accepted this.'
