Sincerely, Hueman: Stories of Kindness and Doing Good
Society & Culture
The stigma around periods contributes to what is now known as period poverty. Period poverty is a global issue affecting millions of women and girls who do not have access to menstrual hygiene resources. In India, nearly a quarter of teens drop out of school when they get their periods due to the lack of handwashing or toilet facilities.
Breaking the stigma around periods is a key first step in alleviating period poverty. Because if we can’t begin to talk about this issue, how are we gonna solve it?
In this episode, we hear the story of Megha Desai, president of the Desai Foundation, an organization that focuses on elevating the health and livelihood of children and women in India and in the U.S. On the show, we talk about how Megha transitioned from the corporate world to working on a cause that she's now dedicated her life to — providing job opportunities for women and helping end period poverty.
