Under the project, visual messages were painted on the boundary wall of Nepal Food Corporation at Thapathali. The problem of uterine prolapse is pervasive throughout Nepal among the women of both reproductive and menopausal age.

Sporadic studies show its high prevalence also among women aged as low as 15. The 2006 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey has found that up to 7 per cent of women of reproductive age group (15-49 years) were suffering from uterine prolapse while approximately 3 per cent of adolescents and youth suffered from it. In a study carried out by Institute of Medicine (IoM) of Tribhuvan University and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), it was found that 600,000 women suffer from varying degrees of uterine prolapse and 200,000 women among them require immediate surgery.
