In Nepal, it is estimated that 19% of schools lack the proper facilities for girls, especially during menstruation. Many schools and public places lack proper toilet facilities for girls, which can have serious implications for their health, safety, and education.

One of the major issues is the lack of separate toilets for girls in schools. This can lead to girls feeling uncomfortable using shared facilities, especially during menstruation. As a result, many girls skip school during their periods, leading to a negative impact on their education.

Furthermore, the lack of proper sanitation facilities can also put girls at risk of infections and diseases. Without access to clean toilets, girls are forced to use unsafe and unhygienic facilities, which can have serious health consequences.

In addition, the lack of privacy and security in public toilets can make girls vulnerable to harassment and abuse. This can further deter girls from using public facilities, leading to increased health risks and social isolation.

Overall, the lack of proper toilet facilities for girls in Nepal, is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. It is essential to prioritize the construction of separate and safe toilets for girls in schools and public places to ensure their health, safety, and well-being.
