The word chhaupadi is Achham’s local Rawte language word. Chhau is menstruation and Padi means woman.  Chaupadi Pratha generally prevails in Far Western region of Nepal.

 

Females are forced to stay in the shed for thirteen days during their first and second menstrual cycle, seven days in their third cycle and four days of every other menstrual cycle. The practice of Chaupadi is also followed by woman during child birth and for up to eleven days after the delivery. Even their babies are sent to live in these sheds with their mother.  Kids who sleep with their mother have to be purified by giving them proper bath before entering the household. In the last day of their cycle women too have to properly shower and do some rituals to purify them.

 

The shed is also called chhaupadi goth. Goth is animal shed in Nepali. It is a simple shelter made out of stone, grass or stick. These shelters are also commonly used as cow or goat sheds. The floors are dirty and sheds have no windows or water. The temperature in these sheds can reach below freezing temperatures in the winter and boiling temperatures in the summer.

 

This is Chaupadi Pratha, one of the dark sides of woman’s life in South Asian women. This is one of them; there are so many unseen and hidden tortures to women in the name of culture and tradition.

 

Due to unhealthy these huts, women suffer from various infectious diseases. Diarrheal and respiratory diseases are common. Malnutrition are also seen due to lack of food during these periods. Sometimes child and mother both die due to the possibility of excessive bleeding following labor or with other illness.
