micdotcom:Teen in Nepal dies of suffocation while isolated in “menstruation hut”A 15-year-old girl named Roshani Tiruwa died sometime between the night of Dec. 17 and the morning of Dec. 18 in Accham, Nepal. Tiruwa was inside a “menstrual hut,” a small structure meant to isolate women and girls on their periods.Authorities believe Tiruwa died of suffocation, since she had lit a fire inside the hut — known as a chhaupadi goth — to keep warm through the night.“There was lack of oxygen as she lit fire in the very narrow shed that had no ventilation,” Badri Prasad Dhakal, the Achham district superintendent of police, told the outlet.Tiruwa’s father said he last saw his daughter around 6 p.m. when she came to retrieve her dinner and bring it back to the hut. Tiruwa’s death is only the latest in a line of women who have died while isolated in menstruation sheds. Read more -- source link
