Breaking the Silence: How to Empower Women to Understand and End Period Poverty with Esena Banson
Description
According to the UN, Every month, more than two billion people[1] around the world menstruate. Although a natural and healthy process, menstruation – or period – interrupts the lives, rights, and freedoms of millions of women and girls because they cannot afford or access menstrual products, sanitation, and hygiene facilities and lack education and awareness to manage their menstrual health and hygiene.
In this podcast episode, the host discusses period poverty with Esena Banson, a contestant in the Miss Africa America pageant. Esena, originally Ghana, who now lives in London, shares her experiences and insights on the inability to afford menstrual products and the lack of education on menstrual health. She emphasizes that period poverty affects women globally, including in developed countries. Esena uses her pageant platform to raise awareness and advocate for menstrual health. The episode highlights the importance of open discussions about menstruation and encourages listeners to support initiatives combating period poverty.
