Lalita, 14, poses for a photo inside of the household chaupadi shelter, a squat crawlspace under the home shared with the family's animals, where the women of the house sleep during their periods, in Rima village, Achham, Nepal. Lalita makes her bed in the dark space behind where the cows are fed, lighting a fire to stay warm.
