Women in Patarasi Rural Municipality are gradually abandoning the Chhaupadi tradition, choosing to stay in their homes during menstruation while maintaining hygiene and nutrition. Several wards have already been declared "Chhuigoth-Free Wards," with ongoing efforts to eliminate the practice entirely. Awareness programs and community support are contributing to this positive social change, aiming to protect women's health, dignity, and safety.
