Article improvement[edit]

I'd like to see some definitive laws referenced here.
I'm sure the external links section isn't quite right. Sorry, new.
The paragraphs still need to basically be rewritten.

Cows[edit]

I removed the reference to cows being in the shed as neither external link mentions this and it seems to contradict the food restrictions. --JBellis (talk) 22:05, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Chhaupadi. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20170810093058/http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/nepal-strengthens-laws-dowry-menstrual-exile-49129803 to http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/nepal-strengthens-laws-dowry-menstrual-exile-49129803

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Removing the translation suggestion box at the top[edit]

I think this article is not nearly as sparse as when the notice was posted. If no objections, I'll remove in a week. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HereAndSometimesThere (talk • contribs) 18:17, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the box now. HereAndSometimesThere (talk) 17:27, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added a new section (but should it be combined with another section?)[edit]

Hi there, I added a section about community action against the practice, as there are community and organizational initiatives working towards ending the practice of chhaupadi (I currently know of SRHR initiatives, social mindset change initiatives, the handing out of sustainable menstrual products, etc, being implemented via the NGO sector in addition to government action). However, this section might be better off if combined into the "Legislation" chapter - which could be expanded and redefined a bit. Essentially, the actions and challenges about the stigma and how it is being addressed should be incorporated into the article in addition to legal issues (there have been many initiatives happening in-country for years).

Any opinions on this? HereAndSometimesThere (talk) 10:00, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
