In Ending Period Poverty, host Radzi Chinyanganya highlights the issue of women and girls who lack access to affordable, clean, and safe menstrual products. This video explores how this issue impacts young women, particularly in lower-income communities, where the inability to afford menstruation products can cause them to miss school and social activities. It also addresses the stigma and shame surrounding menstruation, which exacerbates the challenge of accessing necessary products. This video is excerpted from BBC’s My World, a program created for teenagers eager to learn more about the important stories shaping our world.
