Shrikhala Khatiwada, Goodwill Ambassador

Shrinkhala Khatiwada is an Architect and Miss Nepal World 2018. She believes that each menstruator deserves dignity during menstruation. Stigma, taboo and restrictions during menstruation is across the globe with difference in forms, severity and visibility. Globally, it is ignored. Today, after 4 billion years, we need to speak and educate that hygiene is an important element for dignified menstruation but does not guarantee the dignity during menstruation. 
She also Miss World Beauty with a purpose award winner, Nepal France goodwill ambassador and other engagements on social issues.
