尼泊尔奇异风俗

10231.jpg

Kamala B.K. is tiny. She's only about 5 feet tall. As she walks past our house in the village of Tankut, we try to let her to come over and talk to us. But the 14-year-old run away.

"Because she's menstruating(女性生理期), she should not be entering another person's house. It's disrespectful," says Shrestha ,an old woman in Nepal.

The team is working with girls and women in western Nepal to end a tradition called chaupadi — that's make them go back for thousands of years: "When they are menstruating, no matter what, they stay outside, they eat outside and they sleep outside," Shrestha says.

Outside in sheds(小棚子). In Kamala's village the sheds has no walls, not even a roof. Kamala tells us she'll sleep in one of those sheds tonight. We ask her to come closer to talk, but she covers her face with her hands and won't move.

"She's afraid we are going to beat her," Shrestha says. Because Kamala believes that if she enters the house while she's menstruating, the people and animals will get sick. The gods will be angry. She will also be sick.
