Description
We are very happy to present Kumari’s Adventure with her Moon Cycle (Nepali edition), a revolutionary storybook about menstruation, drawn by young people across Nepal!
Background:
We are Kumari’s Adventure with her Moon Cycle, a collective of young people across Nepal who have created an inspiring story book about menstruation. Our team of 80 illustrators have drawn the pictures that bring Kumari’s Adventure to life and then it has been curated into a 100 page story by Sophie Maliphant (UK).
The story has been translated into Nepali by Anuradha and was published in June 2022 by Laibary Publications, Kathmandu.
The story explains the female anatomy in an exciting way that promotes a healthy relationship with the phenomena of menstruation. It includes the importance of sharing feelings and experiences of menstruation with people and communities you trust. It also relates menstruation back to nature, highlighting how the cycles that we see outside are also happening within. This inspires our character Kumari to have conversations with a wide variety of people within her community to understand the different experiences.
From this foundation we hold workshops for our communities, online and in person, we are involved in different conferences to highlight the power of creativity within empowering education, and there are many innovative ideas coming out of our passionate community, such as a podcast series that they have initiated.
