Sunita Sunar (left), 30, and her three young children live in a Chhaupadi Gotha, a small hut located outside her home, during her menstruation. Every house in their village in Nepal’s Kailali district has a hut in their compound, but sometimes women choose to stay together for safety from wild animals. Sunar is joined by her 17-year-old neighbour, Anita Sunar (right), who didn’t want to stay alone in her Chhaupadi Gotha.
