Januka Rasaeli lives in a rural village in officially
Hindu (ethnically Buddhist)
Nepal, where women do
strenuous chores all day long (as in neighboring India and throughout much of Asia). Heavily pregnant, she worries her work
will put her baby at risk. In recent years, Nepal has made a big push to improve the health of
pregnant women, and the country has seen a drop in the number of women
dying during childbirth. Yet, expectant mothers often do backbreaking
work that can harm their health and that of their unborn children. As
she toils all day, Januka Rasaeli, 28, shares her hopes and fears.
