Cait and Aine travel to the Mathare slum in Nairobi and speak to girls struggling to get a proper education because of the barriers they face with menstruation. We also look at period poverty and its effect on individuals in the Western world. Thousands of students in the UK lack the resources to manage basic menstrual hygiene and as a result are denied equal learning opportunities. We’re facing an important yet often ignored health crisis.

Pandora’s Box is also an award winning feature length documentary. To find out where the film is currently available to watch, visit Pandorasboxthefilm.com.
