These Period Poverty Workshops Change Young Girls' Lives

Words by Abi Scaife

No one should be held back because of their period. 

ActionAid is an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. They work with women and girls, community leaders, men and boys, schools and governments to help end period poverty around the world. 

In many of the world's poorest countries, they provide training on how to make reusable sanitary pads, which are affordable and sustainable.
