Before
We evaluate a participatory, community-based intervention designed to reduce menstrual stigma in rural Nepal. The intervention draws on elements developed by an experienced local NGO-the Global South Coalition for Dignified Menstruation (GSCDM)-which has worked in this sector for over two decades. Delivery occurs through half-day workshops facilitated by moderators trained by GSCDM in collaboration with the study team. All workshops are conducted in village community spaces across Chitwan and East Nawalparasi districts in November 2025.
Facilitators follow a standardized protocol centered on three components: (i) biological education on menstruation, (ii) critical reflection on lived experiences framed in terms of human and constitutional rights, and (iii) norm-challenging activities grounded in behavioral science, including empathy-building and belief-updating exercises.
