You will be dumbfounded the same way ,I was when I stumbled on this information. Apparently a menstruation hut is a thing in this world of ours.Women in Nepal when on their periods are usually sent outside to sleep in a non-ventilated hut .Under the ancient practice known Chhaupadi, women who have their periods or who have just given birth are seen as impure or as bringers of bad luck, but this practice almost cost a woman her life.
They can be forced to sleep outside in huts or cattle sheds, and are banned from touching some foods, religious icons, and men. The huts can be bitterly cold, and those inside can also be exposed to criminal attacks. There have been several cases of suffocation, and at least one teenage girl has died after being bitten by a snake. In January, the deaths of a Nepali mother and her sons in the far-western Bajura district prompted locals to demolish the chhaupadi sheds in their village.
Parwati Bogati was found when her mother-in-law went to check on her.
“She was excited about the next day as her menstruation would end. Poor child closed her eyes forever,” Laxmi Bogati told the Kathmandu Post. She is suspected to have died due to smoke inhalation and suffocation because she closed the door of the windowless hut and lit a fire on the floor for warmth during the night.”
When you are warned about danger ,one better take the warning seriously.
