No more tax on pads. Finally.After four long years of legal struggle, Nepal’s Supreme Court has ordered the government to remove taxes on sanitary pads. A huge step for menstrual justice in Nepal!In 2021, Shreena Nepal and Abhyuday Bhetwal, students at Kathmandu School of Law, filed a writ petition demanding that sanitary pads be classified as essential goods—not luxury items.What does this mean?? A pack of pads that cost Rs. 60 could now cost around Rs. 50.? It boosts domestic production.? It’s one step closer to menstrual equity.In this episode of Period Kaa Kura, we sit down with Shreena Nepal, one of the lawyers who fought this case, to talk about how it all happened, what challenges they faced, and what this decision really means for people who menstruate.This is something we’ve been talking about for years on Period Kaa Kura — why are pads taxed like luxury items when they’re a basic need? Why is menstruation still so expensive and ignored?This episode is about that win. But also about what still needs to change to make period products affordable and available for everyone.Tune in. Celebrate the moment. And keep pushing for change.#PeriodKaaKura #NoTaxOnPads #PeriodJustice #Nepal #TaxFreeMenstruation
