15-year-old Nepali girl d!ed over the weekend in a hut to which she had been ban!shed for menst^uat!ng – the latest v!ct!m of an anc!ent r!tual that per$!$ts in parts of south Asia.
Roshani Tiruwa’s father told, a Nepali outlet, that he found her dead on the floor of the hut Sunday morning after she was forced to spend the n!g^t there alone.
Police told local reporters that the ninth-grade student most likely suffocated after lighting a fire in the hut to keep warm.
Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal called for an end to the custom known as Chaupadi a month earlier, after a 21-year-old woman in a nearby village d!ed the same way.
But with centuries-old roots in Hinduism, Chaupadi has survived in some regions despite bans, a U.N. alert and the de@ths of many women.
