Could a device invented in the 1930s help end period poverty?
People Fixing the World
Period poverty affects girls and women across the world who canβt afford to buy sanitary pads or tampons each month. So what are the alternatives? We look at two very different solutions. In a refugee camp in Jordan, we follow one woman as she tries to get a sanitary pad micro-factory off the ground. While in Malawi, theyβre handing out menstrual cups to teenagers - which last for 10 years and donβt produce any waste.
