Nuns and monks break the silence on sexual and reproductive health and rights in Bhutan
Thimphu, BHUTAN – " There was a time when I would be menstruating and didn ’t know what to do during those days… Now I do.” These candid reflections came from an unexpected source: a nun sitting cross-legged on the floor of an astrology college in the capital of Bhutan. She was part of a delegation of nuns and monks – known locally as Anims and Lopens Gelongs – meeting with UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem to speak about their work destigmatizing sexual and reproductive health in their communities.
