"In Jamu, Radha's village in western Nepal, her status is lower than a dog's, because she is menstruating. She is only 16, yet, for the length of her period, Radha can't enter her house or eat anything but boiled rice. She can't touch other women - not even her grandmother or sister - because her touch will pollute them. Here, menstruation is dirty, and a menstruating girl is a powerful, polluting thing. A thing to be feared and shunned."
