Description

We discuss the menstrual cycle - turning period poverty to period dignity. From free and locally produced sanitary products to the No Pad Tax campaigns.

Sophia Smith Galer and Scaachi Koul explore menstruation education, legislation and cultural change, as they meet two people from different countries to explore how period equity can be achieved for everyone. And is education on reproductive health up to scratch?

Guests: Ailsa Colquhoun from Hey Girls in Scotland, and menstrual hygiene advocate, Lilipearl Baaba Otoo, in Ghana.
