Kumaris Adventure with her Moon Cycle

Kumari’s Adventure with her Moon Cycle is a story about me, Kumari, and how I learnt about my menstrual cycle, or my Moon Cycle which is what I call it in the book. Visit our Menstruation page to find out more context about this work, and what has inspired my story.

When I was 13, my friend Anisha and I found bicycles in our village that took us on an adventure. We met lots of other women and girls who were all curious to learn more about their female bodies and to discuss their menstruation experiences and the taboos that are prevalent in our society in Nepal.
